[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We were where you were 10+ years ago.

We moved slightly further out of DuPont to kalorama. We had no meaningful budget constraints.

It was a very compromise neighborhood. It’s objectively great but it’s not the excitement of DuPont circle and it doesn’t have a great kid vibe. But therein lies the rub.

Good kid neighborhoods are either new build suburban or in less expensive area of the city (palisades, barnaby woods). They both have their advantages, but you would likely hate both.

We have twice considered moving. We wanted very walkable and a kid friendly neighborhood. [b]The first time around we set a budget at $5M, the second time $10M.  It literally doesn’t exist at any dollar amount.[/b]

Don’t comes down to personal preference. What is more important to you personally?

Probably true because most people with kids do not have family money or $10M budgets.  Throwing money at a a housing budget does not mean that the people living next to you have children- more likely if you buy somewhere near Kalorama or Forest Hills you might be in a kid friendly block but also might be near neighbors who have several home they spend time at.
