[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like a shepherd park or 16th street heights would be a great fit. A good amount of diversity, both racially and socioeconomic. People are very friendly in DC once you’re in the SFH neighborhoods. We live in AU Park and everyone says hi. [/quote]

+1 to Shepherd Park. It's very much a kids-play-in-the-streets neighborhood, with families looking out for each other's kids. Tons of interracial couples. Historically (2nd half of 20th c.) it's been an important center for both Jewish and Black Washington.

The problem is that since it's entirely single-family, rentals come up pretty rarely. They do appear, however; I'd keep an eye on listings and grab an option if it comes up. While sales prices are rising here, it is still the sort of neighborhood where you can get a fair bit of house for your money compared to west of Rock Creek Park, if you decide to stay and buy. I see two rental listings right now, well within your price range:

Virginia is a bit of a schlep from here, but certainly doable for visiting purposes. (I wouldn't want to commute.)[/quote]
