I know we have had threads about living in DC itself, but does anyone have advice for suburban areas outside the city? I am familiar with the region from DC to BWI from numerous business trips over the years but I have never looked through the lens of someone looking to relocate.
I am willing to undergo a long commute (goes w/out saying for DC) but prefer that commute to be via subway vs. commuter bus (it seems the buses have unreasonably short hours; for instance, last leaving DC around 6PM...what if I am working late?)
My foremost concern is the quality of schools. Second to that is ease/safety of public transport to cultural events.
I remember areas like Linthicum and Glen Burnie seemed decent years ago. I also loved Annapolis as a tourist but the subway doesn't reach. I am not familiar with Virginia except for those decent areas too close to the city for my budget.
Any recommendations as to where to look? Thank you.
