Is the DCPS one that has spots for all PS and PK inboundary kids? Many do not. I would make sure of that before you move.

It will be tough moving from pg to dc on that income.

Hi, what would you do if you were in this situation?

We are a family of 3 with a $70k combined income. We currently live in PG county, own our place and we like our neighborhood, but both my partner and I work in DC. We have a 3 year old child who is currently in daycare full-time and hope to have a second child soon. My partner is an elementary teacher at a well regarded DCPS. For us it will make sense and it will also be easier in terms of logistics for our daughter to enroll in the same school (PK3-5 grade) where my partner teaches. However, we will need to move to DC and rent an apt/basement probably less nicer than what we currently have.

My questions are the following:
If we were to move to DC and keep our place in MD? what are the tax implications?
Would you sacrifice/trade a comfortable home for a not so nice neighborhood/housing if you were to save $ (basically 24 months of child-care for DC#1 and also in the future for DC #2 ) since in DC children can enroll in PK3 instead of K in MD?
What other aspects am I missing?

I'll appreciate any feedback you can provide.
