[quote=Anonymous]La native here. Nothing really compares to LA and you're looking for things that exist individually but not in one place in DC.

If you want funky hippy dippy green oriented types, takoma park. Lots of families, very community oriented, some beautiful houses, you could probably rent a small house. the MD side has better schools. Some ethnic food all around that area of MD, but beware that you are entering a land where amazing, inexpensive and hip restaurants are few and far between. You will also be shocked at how much produce sucks, and how expensive it is. On the other hand, you may be pleasantly surprised by the efficiency of public transportation and the general brain power of people in the DC area.

If you are more committed to urban life, then columbia heights, petworth, maybe bloomingdale, mount pleasant (a nice combo of ethnic, family, and urban, plus near a park and some nice charter schools), or logan circle/dupont, although the latter is more hip/trendy than funky/artsy. It is also the center of gay culture in DC (though not its only expression). But in these areas, you cannot count on great in boundary schools. Many of the areas with great in boundary schools in DC are pleasant but boring. the least boring might be cleveland park, but by no means is it funky.

I can't speak much to areas outside of DC.
