We're in a very suburban-feeling part of NYC right now. There are lots of trees, parks, etc., but you can still hail a cab or get on the subway a few blocks away. My guess is we'd pick a suburban feel over urban... as long as that didn't mean we'd feel like we were in the middle of nowhere or couldn't go out to eat.

Honestly, commute should drive your decision, because pretty much all of the areas you mentioned are pretty progressive.  But the commute could be vastly different.

Have you driven down to the area?  Come down, get a hotel, and do a few test drives from those neighborhoods to your expected place of work.  It really is amazing how what seems like a short distance can turn into a nightmare commute in rush hour DC traffic.  During certain times of day, it can take an hour to get from Capitol Hill to Georgetown.

I agree commute is important, but I would disagree that you should assume you are driving.  17th and K is Farragut North (a block from Farragut West), so finding something near a red line station would work well (or you could metro from Capitol Hill as well).[/quote]
