There are plenty of areas in NW DC with all those amenities.[/quote]

In smaller quantities, together with lousy services and terrible public schools.

We just didn't find NW DC a particularly attractive place to raise kids.   If you have the money, you send them to a posh private school, after going through all the drama of the school acceptance process, and then they grow up in a bubble of extreme privilege.  And, even then, they aren't really exposed to the benefits of a city like New York or London.   It's ultimately a more pampered and more parochial upbringing than the suburbs.

Really how would you know that? Vienna gives them what experience exactly? Hands down I can name about 5 neighborhoods in DC that are much better than Vienna, have tons of yard space, great services etc. and have just as good public schools (yes you have us beat on high schools but my kid going to a private HS is much better than a drug infested, over crowded Nova public).  We're talking about Vienna..not McLean, not Great Falls. Vienna. [/quote]
