Auszug. © Genehmigter Nachdruck. Alle Rechte vorbehalten.: Excerpt from Chapter 2: Urban neighborhoods of every shape and size; suburban cities and towns steeped in local history; and residential neighborhoods with single-family homes, townhouses, condos and apartment complexes--the Washington area offers a smorgasbord of choices for the newcomer. Many factors influence the decision about where to live. Cost of housing is often the most important and least negotiable issue, but factors relating to transportation time, cost and convenience can also make a difference. Local amenities and the character of the neighborhood often help people choose between otherwise comparable options.
Different life styles are better served by different parts of DC, Maryland and Virginia. Read the general descriptions in front of the chapter to get an overview of these three areas. Or turn directly to the neighborhood sections for specific information to help you decide what part of the greater Washington area suits you best.
