There’s just something about life in the ‘burbs. Unlike the busy metropolitan streets of Washington, D.C., suburban living is quiet, peaceful, and full of small-town charms.
Where a big city can at times feel isolating, suburban communities tend to be close-knit and friendly. Neighborhood barbecues, block parties, and holiday celebrations are common when you live in a bustling suburban community.
If you’ve been searching for the ideal suburb to call home, but still need to be close to D.C. for school, have we got the list for you. Check out these top 3 D.C. suburbs for commuting to the big city.
