[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a really random list of neighborhoods.  You need to think about what you can afford to pay, transportation to your work, what kind of neighborhood you like, and what kind of amenities you need.  In general, [b]the young, hip, and broke [/b]are living in Columbia Heights/Petworth, and Bloomingdale/Shaw/Eckington.  If you're willing to live in very small studio, you still find deals for around $1100 - $1400 in some of the centrally located bigger buildings in Dupont (eg, those owned by Bernstein Management).  If you're willing to live with other people, you can find group houses in Mt. Pleasant and many other fun areas of the city for less than $1000. [/quote]

Well, I'm young and broke. Not so hip and I've got a 3yo, so group homes are out. I'm willing to live somewhere small (tiny), but would really like a 1bd so I can close the door after DC goes to bed at night. I work by the Nationals Stadium, have DC on waitlists for PS3 all over the city and I do own a car. I'd like to sell the car as it would free up about $275/mo, but am okay with keeping it if I can find a cheaper place to live. W/D in the building at least and a full kitchen (oven/stovetop, fridge, sink).

I'm looking for something under $1400 if I have to keep the car, under $1600 if I can sell it. I'm trying to move this summer (ideally July-Aug timeframe, but can move in June as well)

The list came from Craigslist postings. I Google-mapped the apts that were in my budget (went to the property management websites also) and saw that they tended to be concentrated in certain areas. Cleveland Park was included because one of the property websites had a building that was close by Cleveland Park Metro. [/quote]
