First off: I know now is a terrible time to house search with interest rates, home prices and rents through the roof. No arguments there.

My wife works remotely for a nonprofit out of DC. On a recent trip to work in office, she has expressed interest in moving closer to better support her team. We’ve just started exploring options within the Washington metropolitan area, that’d be a reasonable commute, preferable by public transit.

If you have knowledge of this area with suggestions for where we should consider, and/or any dos and dont’s please let me know.

Thanks very much!

    Rarely. DC is fairly temperate. It was actually a bit too hot for me in the summer, and there wasn’t much snow or ice in the winter. Shut everything down when there was but I think it was maybe a week a year.

        I’m from Michigan. DC has nothing on home. But the rare day off of work was nice. I hadn’t had a snow day since high school until I moved to DC.

          I mean ICE the people who are going to kill you and your wife and and kids you may or may not have. Even if you are white, ICE is gonna be hitting people hard. Crossfire is a thing.
