[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is more to life than living in a big house. Your children will have opportunities if you stay here that would be unimaginable in Buttfuk Tx. If anything you should move closer to DC to reduce your husband's commute.[/quote] OP here: I agree. A house is a house. I'm considering it all, however: house, commute, lower cost of living and still being in a system with good schools and churches (I'm Catholic so a good church and school system is important to me when it comes to the upbringing of my children). As far as exposure I don't think Leesburg is giving us as much exposure as DC families, anyway. [/quote] OP, you may not be reading anymore but I have a suggestion for you. Hyattsville Hills (in Hyattsville, MD) is an easy commute to downtown, has extremely inexpensive houses right now ($200Kish), and is a warm, family-friendly community. You can walk everywhere - park, post office, YES organic market (opening this year), school, church. Even more interesting, is that there is somewhat of a Catholic "intentional community" in the neighborhood. http://www.catholicity.com/commentary/pavlat/04479.html The public schools are so-so (best in elementary), but the Catholic school is inexpensive, and very good, and has space for new children.
