[quote=Anonymous]OP---you've said your budget, but not the lifestyle you are looking for.  That will help people break down the schools options for you.  With that budget, you can definitely buy something in-bounds for Janney, Murch or Lafayette (and perhaps a smaller townhouse for Eaton in Cleveland Park).  Janney, Murch or Lafayette are all much more suburban in feel (i.e., you will wind up driving a lot) even though in the city.  Or, to be more precise, you have to look a lot harder to find housing that is within reasonable pedestrian distance from the commercial corridors of Wisconsin Avenue or Connecticut Avenue.

There are more typically "urban" (and by that I mean Brooklynesque---not Manhattan) neighborhoods---Capitol Hill, Mount Pleasant (feeds to Bancroft) and Woodley Park/Adams Morgan (portions feed to Oyster).  But all of those (with exception of Oyster perhaps) have more complications with finding good schools.  Not that it can't be done (my family does it) but it is more risky because of the lotteries.
