Washington DC Metropolitian Areas sucks so badly.
There's Traffic Congestion out the Whazoo.
There are no great forests in the area. DC is at least 2 hours away from it's closest National Park (and the Shenandoah National Park is not that great relative to other parks).
The Crime is bad. Although to DC's credit, most of it takes place in Washington DC which is a small part of this whole Metropolitian Area.
Horrible Real Estate Market (500K+ dollars for a 1300 square foot home in a crappy suburban VA Neighborhood like Falls Church).
For the kids this area is even worse. There's no more riding bikes down the streets, playing by streams or in meadows with your friends. There are no more Trees. Few Public Swimming pools. No water skiing.
Very little opportunity to experience the Great Outdoors unless you consider a walk around the monuments and through Rock Creek Park the Great Outdoors. Painful heat and humidity in the summer.
My advice, don't move here. It sucks.
