[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband and I will be moving to DC for a temporary job rotation (1-2 years) next spring. We have a son who will be 2 when we move. We live in Portland, OR and love it here. My hubs will be working close to the White House. I would like to start researching places to live but have no idea where to even begin. We need 2 bedrooms and our budget will be around $2500/month. Ideally I'd like somewhere that doesn't feel to suburb-y, has a good commute downtown (preferably using public transit), is family friendly, and has the right "feel". We are a semi-crunchy family (home birth, extended nursing etc) and I would like to be around like minded but laid back families. Parks and access to quality food (farmers markets and the like) are important too. Basically, I'd like to find somewhere like Portland! Does a place like this exist? If it does, could we even afford it?[/quote]

This sounds so like Capitol Hill--especially the northeast/H Street part. Tons of young families, v. crunchy, lots of parks, and several good preschool options (some public, some private). 2500 might even get you a little rowhouse. Let me see if I can find any.

Oh, and my sister lives in and loves Portland. So I know what people love about it, and I think you can find a neighborhood in DC that won't make you miserable![/quote]
