[quote=Anonymous]When you say you want a more urban feel, what do you mean? Georgetown is urban in that houses are old and, at your price range, not that big, and there's some stuff to walk to in the neighborhood, but it's isolated from other parts of the city and doesn't have easy access to a subway station, so you won't be able to be car-free. In DC (and perhaps everywhere), there is a direct correlation between test scores and affluent families. So pretty much any neighborhood with $1.5 million houses will feed to a good elementary school (there are some exceptions in gentrifying neighborhoods, but that's a general rule). Schools in those neighborhoods also don't have PK3, although other neighborhoods do have public PK3. Depending on what you mean by "urban," I would also look in the Oyster district (English/Spanish bilingual) and Cleveland Park (Eaton or Hearst).[/quote]
