[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks all. No kids (yet) or pets, so schools/dog parks are not anything we need to consider in a neighborhood. We'd like to stay within the city so we're close to our jobs, nightlife and the like. We'll be renting as we'll be on a temporary 2-year assignment. Hopefully it will be extended and we can stay in the city, but for now it will be financially safer to rent.

I'm a little concerned about the short rental window, if inventory doesn't typically come on the rental market until one or two months in advance. We'd like to locate a rental specialist to help coordinate showings, as we'll be trying to see units in one or two recon trips from the west coast, and likely finalizing things from afar. Welcome any suggestions on that front, as well.

Thank you.[/quote]

If you're looking to be close to nightlife, you're probably more interested in living in parts of NW DC (Dupont Circle, Columbia Heights, Logan Circle), but these will not necessarily be convenient in terms of locating both of you on a Metro line to get to work.  I am the poster who recommended parts of Capitol Hill, but the hill is really more family-centered.  H Street does have nightlife, but it's not super-close to the parts of the hill that are close to the two blue line stations.[/quote]

Try West End, Foggy bottom metro stop, if you want easy metro rides without connections to your both jobs.   You can walk to Dupont and Gtown easily and river trails and even downtown or Logan, it's a small city, totally walkable, plus there are cabs.[/quote]
