As I get to know Neta better, one of the options I'm thinking of is staying in the area until she's done with grad school and then the two of us going over to the Scotland together. She really likes that idea and is excited about the idea of living abroad and applying what she's going to be learning in grad school to work or research in the UK.

In light of that, I was considering looking for a place I could move to now (while Chris and Mel and I are getting the house ready for sale) that, in due course, Neta and I could end up sharing. So it would need to be within commuting distance to both DC and Baltimore and be somewhere fairly nice but still affordable on my salary (a 2-3 BR apartment/TH/duplex or small house +/- say ~$1500 pcm) in a decent neighborhood/community.

Any suggestions for places to look? [livejournal.com profile] gr_c17 has already give us a few pointers, but more input would be welcome.

I think it is wonderful that you have found this person. But I hope you will weigh this decision very carefully. Scotland is something you have wanted for quite some time, and you may find that if you can get established here, it might make her move easier. And you'll also know that you are definitely committed to each other if your relationship can stay strong while you each pursue your dreams.

I remember what you hae said about how important this move is for you. That is why I feel compelled to say this.

And one more thing... if you can afford that much a month, I'd consider buying another place if you are sticking around - a condo or something. Shame to be throwing that much money away a month, might as well be investing it, even if you sell it in a year or two.
