I know there are heaps of DC area PSers.
My DH & I have been renting in a really great part of DC -- Cleveland Park. We love it there for so many reasons, but we''re strongly considering moving out to either MD or VA to make our first home purchase. Over the past couple of weekends we''ve been taking mini trips to different neighborhoods to try to get a feel for them, see the offerings, etc. At first, we both felt drawn to Maryland, but after last sundays jaunt to Northern VA, specifically the Del Ray community we might be changing our minds. Both of us are big craftsman bungalow fans!!
Does anyone have any opinions, advice, first hand experience?
We''re weighing things like:
Space for our $$
Commuting (we''ll both be working long hours and do we really want a hefty commute)
Taxes
Neighborhood feel
Townhouse vs. SFH
Schools (though kids are a few years down the line)
We''ve also been looking around more transitional parts of DC, such as Logan Circle, but staying in the city might be too expensive.
