[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can find what you are looking for in population in Colonial Village, Shepherd park or Takoma, but it's more suburban and the commutes will suck. You may way to check out Southwest Waterfront, at least for the short-term.  Lots of diversity, in both race and income.  More middle/upper middle AAs over here than on the Hill. Commutes to both Courthouse and Union Station would be relatively easy.  Crime is low in most areas. Lots of families, especially younger kids.  Parents are working on the IB school to make it a better option, to the point where the preK classes have now gotten popular. Lots of green space and near the water - not much around right now for shops or restaurants, but there will be a lot more options when the first phase of the Wharf opens in a year. [/quote]
Agree about looking at SW - it's one of the city neighborhoods like Crestwood and Colonial Village that has tended to have a big UMC black community. I'd look to rent in the older coop/condo communities though (many have townhouses as well as medium rise buildings) because the newer buildings seem like they're more transient 20 somethings and are tiny. It's a very friendly chat with your neighbors in line at Safeway and on the metro platform type neighborhood. And commute to Arlington is an easy metro or bike ride to Arlington and Union Stn both.[/quote]
