[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, my DH and I were in your shoes until a few months ago.  we were renting a SFH in Cleveland Park and loved the location.  The smallest house on our block went up for sale, and we were really considering it.  Loved the location, could walk to the Zoo, right off the red line -- but felt we didn't "fit in" with our neighbors (and FWIW, our HHI is $250k).  
We ended up buying in Takoma Park, for a myriad of reasons, but mostly because it felt like "home" from the first  time we stepped foot in the neighborhood.  Our neighbors have been nothing but over-the-top in welcoming us to our new home.  We had an old couple across the street MAIL us a "congratulations on your new house" card, with recommendations to local community centers and churches of all types of denominations. We've met more families at the park than we did in 2 years of renting in our old house. And yes, it it no Cleveland Park or Dupont, but our house is in walking distance to a few restaurants and the farmers market.  Our commute isn't great - TP is tucked away! - but for our family, we made the right decision.  Good luck to you!

Please elaborate. Why didn't you "fit in" in CP? It seems to be just as liberal as Takoma Park.[/quote]
