[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have been house hunting for TWO YEARS and have not yet been able to find the right place. We have had a few close calls but nothing has panned out. We have to move in the next six months.

We require:
-At least two bedrooms 
-A reasonable amount of safety. We have a small child. 
-Price less than 500k, though of course less is better
-Turnkey ready. No fixer uppers. We are not at all handy. 
-&gt;900 square feet
-Close to some sort of public transport, but can be bus
-If a condo, then condo fees less than $300/month
-If a condo, no shared laundry

We would like:
-At least three bedrooms
-At least 1100 square feet
-A house vs a condo
-Walking distance to metro (1 mile or less)

In an ideal world:
-A small yard
-A finished basement with kitchenette 
-A friendly community with lots of kids
-Amenities in walking distance, like playground, grocery store, library etc

Not a factor:
-Schools
-Parking, as long as abundant street parking is available

Any suggestions?[/quote]

Ticking most of your boxes: Hillcrest? There are buses.

Closer to metro and more frequent bus service, River Terrace. Although you will have to compromise on size. However, houses are cheaper (for DC)

You're going to have to go up to Riggs Park/Fort Totten, or make the jump to EotR.[/quote]
