Our Take
Georgetown has high salaries, good schools, and a low flood risk, but it’s also expensive, noisy, and has a noticeable federal police presence. If you can afford the high cost of living and are a young professional or student, it might work; otherwise the price and potential crime may outweigh the benefits.
