[quote=Anonymous]Came from Chicago as well.

You'll struggle to find comparable neighborhoods - there are some but they tend to be in less desirable areas academically speaking.

If you are open to private, check out the area around eastern market and Capital hill. Certain sections will feel like buck town or wicker park. Budget will be hard, but worth a look. True Chicago like areas are very few and far between. As soon as you cross over the river to VA you see a lot more places like Schaumburg /  Evanston, equivalents. Lower density, mostly SF homes.

If you are willing to look further out or in MD, parts of Reston town center or Vienna might get somewhat close - but you won't find the same density as Chicago. Arlington is probably out due to cost. Another possibility, if condos are an option might be somewhere in Bethesda. It'll be more like Lincoln park than wicker park, but it's a decent approximation of Chicago living.

Welcome.

And if you don't know yet : prepare for sticker shock. $600 in wicker park gets you a nice 3bd duplex up - it'll get you a lot less here. [/quote]
