Why are you so weird about the street thing? I can just imagine wanting a garage, though personally I couldn't care less. I cannot fathom why you would care whether other people use their garage or not. What is the deal? Are you such a crappy driver that you are scared of crashing into parked cars?[/quote]

OP Here.  Not sure why you care about what I'm looking for in a neighborhood, but it's not about driving through there.  It's (a) a safety issue - safer for pedestrians and kids, especially if there aren't sidewalks, and (b) personal preference.  When I look out my window, I like to see green yards and my neighbor's houses, not rows of cars.  It looks more orderly.

Then don't try to live in a semi-urban setting.  I'm not making a moral judgement, just being practical.  Close-in, older neighborhoods tend to have small lots and limited parking. The result is that more people park on the street. Wide streets, garages and off-street parking are standard features the further out you go.  [/quote]

+1-- You're pretty much ruling out any CC neighborhood except Kenwood, which is beyond your budget, OP.  I live in another part of CC and when I look out the window, I see cars, sure, but I also see my neighbor's houses -- great range of architecture, BTW, -- trees (truly glorious at this time of year), and lots of people walking -- with their dogs, with friends, to the Metro, to school, etc.  We love this landscape, but to each her own.
