I am moving my family to DC in June. I have lived in DC before and know that I would like to live in the Janney / Lafayette/ Murch or Mann school districts. Zillow has a few ok listings. Are there other places I ought to look?
Is it too soon to look? |

| There is extremely limited inventory in these neighborhoods. The spring market started early at least 2 weeks ago. You should find an agent and start looking now. |

| PP. Sorry, I just realized you are trying to rent, not buy. Although, even for rentals there is extremely limited inventory so I would still start looking now. |

| If you have friends still in town, ask them to post on neighborhood listservs, Facebook groups, etc. for you. |

| Post or just join the neighborhood listservs, like the Tenleytown and Cleveland Park ones. There are rental houses posted on them regularly. I think the stock on Zillow tends to be a bit better, but haven't been following super closely. |

| Are listservs still a thing? Seems kind of outdated and if they are still going strong in those neighborhoods will they let non-residents join? |

| Going strong and they won’t. |

Yes, the list servs in these areas are still quite active. I agree this is the best way to find a rental. Good luck! |

| But how do you get admitted to the listservs if you don't live in that area already? |
