[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, there isn't really a Silver Lake equivalent in DC (unfortunately). Check out Mount Pleasant, Columbia Heights, Shaw, Logan Circle, houses near the 14th Street Corridor, Petworth, and Kalorama, see if any are close enough. Takoma Park is a decent suggestion, too.

If you have specific rental listings you want some opinions on, feel free to post them - we can let you know what the neighborhood's like.

This list is pretty good - I might add Bloomingdale in there.  You can get a 2 BR 2 Bath for about $3k in all of these neighborhoods, but it's more likely that you'll find a high rise.  In Columbia Heights, you could rent a 2 floor unit in a converted rowhouse for $3200-$3500 - hey, you can rent mine, if you want.  (Seriously - if you're interested, post here and I'll set up an e-mail account.)

Schools in all though neighborhoods are iffy, but there are lots of charters around - it's nervewracking, but doable, if you wnt to live in the city.

And no, you won't find neighborhoods exactly like there are in other cities here - but I don't get the feeling you expect to.  (Take the comments here with a grain of salt - for some reason, many posters love to have DC.)  If sounds to me like you'd like Mt. Pleasant/Columbia Heights/Adams Morgan - for the proximity to restaurants.

Good luck.  [/quote]
