[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a really random list of neighborhoods.  You need to think about what you can afford to pay, transportation to your work, what kind of neighborhood you like, and what kind of amenities you need.  In general, the young, hip, and broke are living in Columbia Heights/Petworth, and Bloomingdale/Shaw/Eckington.  If you're willing to live in very small studio, you still find deals for around $1100 - $1400 in some of the centrally located bigger buildings in Dupont (eg, those owned by Bernstein Management).  If you're willing to live with other people, you can find group houses in Mt. Pleasant and many other fun areas of the city for less than $1000. [/quote]

Lots of families in both of these areas, although Bloomingdale and Eckington are much smaller neighborhoods than CH or Petworth. I live in Eckington with a baby, and have met tons of young families in Bloomingdale. The south end is closer to the metro. The west side of  Eckington (closer to North Capitol) is pretty good. It gets a little sketchier on the other side, by 4th St. There is good bus transit if you work downtown or near Union Station. It's very convenient to U St and Chinatown if you want to go out. There is a small but growing restaurant/commercial strip at 1st St/Rhode Island Ave/TSt NW. [/quote]
