[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Georgetown. Very family friendly, safe, not as diverse as other parts of the city (eg capital hill) but more diversity than you would expect because the university is right there. Walkable parks, coffee, restaurants, shops, work (if close enough downtown area), can walk to metro if you are on the eastern side, and the buses also run downtown and up Wisconsin regularly. Leafy but feels like a city. [/quote]

Georgetown does not have a Metro stop and the schools are NOT good. You'll be totally car dependent. It's fun for tourists but you don't really want to raise a family there. [/quote]
Georgetown has good public and private options. What are you on about?[/quote]

It has a bus.  The Metro in Foggy Bottom is too far for most people in Georgetown. [/quote]

Gtown East is close enough. If you are in deeply residential parts of Gtown then you need to learn which streets have bike lanes.  Biking there isn't as easy though due to hills and narrow streets.  There are buses too.   At least you will be riding/walking through the charming scenic neighborhood and not across busy roads and fugly strip malls like in some suburban stations. And by the standards of DC area being 1 mile away from the station as crow flies is considered "walkable" to metro, even if it means walking around to find that pedestrian bridge across the highway or navigate weird no-sidewalk streets and walk across parking lots.
