[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are legitimate reasons why OP might want to move to Cleveland Park or a similar neighborhood, like having space for kids to play. But let's not pretend there aren't significant tradeoffs in terms of urban quality of life.

Sure, there are clusters of shops on the charmless and pedestrian unfriendly Connecticut and Wisconsin Avenue stretches that bookend Cleveland Park. These do not hold a candle to living in DuPont or near 14th Street and being able to walk to multiple Michelin star and James Beard restaurants, top-rated cocktail bars, the city's best farmers market, and luxury gyms like Equinox and VIDA. Nor does WOTP have the hot and young urban crowd of these areas.

OP - if you view townhome living as "wonderful" now with two kids, I would stay put and see where they get into school. If you created this thread because you are feeling the itch to move, you could consider Georgetown East Village as a compromise option. Still quite walkable to DuPont, and the area is in the midst of a resurgence in high-end dining and great coffee shops. [/quote]

True … and I’ll make my pitch again for Capitol Hill as well along those same lines. Less luxe but more proximity to interesting and fun stuff. [/quote]

Are there many single family homes in Cap Hill? [/quote]

There are giant rowhouses and a few detached homes but not many. Same as Georgetown. [/quote]
