[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi again from Capitol Hill! I love your attitude and would welcome you as a neighbor. I am very happy here (I'm also a westerner) but I would hate to sell you on what could be a tough move. Though if you view it as an adventure, it might be fun.

The areas closest to Union Station are inbounds for the Cluster School (Peabody) and Ludlow Taylor, both excellent options for early childhood education. You could certainly rent a 2 bedroom for around 2k, maybe a little more. Your kindergartner would be guaranteed a spot, and the 3 yo would be moved up on the waiting list for sibling preference. This probably still wouldn't get #2 into Peabody but might work for LT. Certainly for next year. Daycare is tough. Hard to get into and expensive. We did nanny shares for our kids, which was a little less expensive but still pricy.

Anyway, we are very happy living here on a middle class income, but since we are a two income family, it is easier. There are real benefits to living right in the city. Commute is chief among them, but I honestly love the neighborhood so much that I am willing to commute out of the city every day for my job. Good luck with whatever you decide, and I hope to meet you someday on the Hill![/quote]

When's the last time you tried to rent an apartment? I don't think she could get a two bedroom for 2k. More like 2650 to 3500.[/quote]
