[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Try Sutton Place townhouses in Wesley Heights.  Horace Mann, the public elementary is very good (even though in DC) and has a lottery pre-K and regular K for all in bounds families.  Great location, very safe neighborhood, close to parkland (Glover-Archibald Park), walk to Wisconsin Ave shops, close to American University for babysitters, 5 minutes from VA and MD.  Not so close to a metro - closest one is Friednship Heights - but lots of bus service and FH metro is probably a 15 minute walk.  You get a parking space.  They tuypically retain their value very well because the neigjhborhood isone of the very best in DC.[/quote]

This is actually a really good suggestion.  If I were buying something in your price range, I think this is the way I'd go.  You get a good amount of space for your money (probably a good amount more than you'd find in a condo), there are lots of young families with SAHMs, you have access to their pool and are close to parks, are in one of the best DC school districts.  If for some reason you couldn't sell it in 2-3 years, these units get high rental amounts, so you would have that option.  My second choice would be McLean Gardens, which is very similar.

Many of the other areas mentioned (Columbia Heights, Mt. Pleasant, Capitol Hill) can be dicey as far as crime goes.  [/quote]
