[quote=Anonymous]Hi all,

We're relocating to DC from LA. Can I pick the UrbanMom (and Dad) brain collective on which neighborhoods we should be looking at? Initially to rent, possibly eventually to buy, but no rush.

Wish list: 
*Funky neighborhood, the DC equivalent of Silver Lake or Echo Park (or Eagle Rock, Highland Park, etc.) in Los Angeles, or the funkier parts of Brooklyn in NYC? Where do the bike-activist hipsters live? (We are not hipsters, but we like a lot of the things they like.)
*Rent under 3000 for 2+ bedrooms, 2 baths. We could go to 3500 but it would have to be amazing. 
*Prefer a (row) house over a high-rise apartment building.
*We're a young family and we're boring. Our main out of the house activity is eating at weird restaurants, so proximity to ethnic food is a big one. 
*Close-ish to a Metro stop. 
*In fantasyland, we'd love one parking spot and some kind of outdoor space. (Also hardwood floors, diverse neighbors, other families with little kids, and herds of free-range unicorns.)
*Possibly also relevant: spouse will be working in Foggy Bottom.

Right now I'm browsing Craigslist for Petworth and Columbia Heights listings. What else should I be looking at? Thank you!
