[quote=Anonymous]OP if you land the job at the Navy Yard and don't live on the Hill, then you will want to strongly consider a neighborhood with easy access to Metro because you can take the metro to the Navy Yard stop every day. If you live in Palisades, there is no metro. In fact many of the places recommended here are not near a metro stop.

I am a transplant, too from a similar place as yourself, and strongly recommend living on the Hill in the areas patrolled by the Capitol Hill police ( your realtor will know) and Lincoln Park. Also, I highly recommend Lyon Park in Arlington, it is very walkable, can walk to teh matro, lots of community activities, close enough that you could also drive, yada, yada. DO NOT live in Alexandria. We moved to Alexandria after living on the Hill. They are still reeling from Brown v. Bd. of Education and the schools are a mess. We went private, but I have to say that there is a very strong southern mentality that we just couldn't shake. Others will disagree with what I just said, but trust me, it's strongly felt at the private school where our DC's went. We are now living in McLean, VA and love it. I would recommend it to you too, but it's not small town vibe feel except for a few neighborhoods (ours is one), and it isn't close to a Metro.

Best of luck! You'll love living here![/quote]
