Not like Manhattan for sure, because DC is not nearly as dense or will ever be, and it's not a bad thing.  But as far as Brooklyn is concerned, come on.  Most of DC is sort of like this, lots of rowhomes, some highrises, similar density, but without the grunge and dirt of BK.  DC is much cleaner and nicer than BK, IMHO.  I still live in Manhattan BTW, used to live in DC and planning to move back.

OP, if you can afford living in Gtown, go for East Village part, there are families, family parks, not too far from Dupont metro or Foggy Bottom metro for all the museums or the zoo, plenty to do when your kids are in school.  Very nice, beautiful tree lined streets and appealing architecture, sort of like better parts of West village, except homes are more colorful and M st is a little too touristy.   super short commute for DH and since you intend to do private schools, no worries about schools.  If I could afford to be a SAHM and buy a rowhouse for 2 mil and send kids to a private school it would be a dream life.   Another suggestion is Kalorama near Dupont or some Dupont's area residential streets.   But it's mainly a rowhome living.

If you want something with a yard, if you have a longing for an SFH and a little more space, then look around NWDC, Woodley park, Cleveland Park, AU park.  I would not go further out, no reason for you, unless you want a lot of space, a large lot.  [/quote]
