There are plenty of homes in your price range in DC. It's only the posters who red-line the city in their heads who claim it's SO expensive.

What are the schools like in Brookland? I think people red-line the city because that's where the good schools are.

The schools in Brookland are not desirable. I say that as someone who lives in and loves the neighborhood. That is why most of the educated middle class families (both black and white) do out of boundary lotteries or charter schools. You get get an awesome house in Brookland for your budget--I'm talking huge Victorian with big backyard. Sure the charter schools/as are the Out of Boundary lotteries, but I literally haven't had a friend who hasn't gotten in somewhere where they aren't happy.
