[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm surprised more people haven't suggested Brightwood.

We bought a few years ago in the area where 16th Street Heights and Brightwood meet. We are very happy with our neighborhood. When we first moved in, it was quiet and it seemed like mostly older residents. But in the last two years or so, tons of young families and couples who are planning to start families have been buying nearby.

If you hate the rectangular brick boxes, which is what I have, there are lots of bungalows mixed in. Some will be just out of your price range, but maybe on the north side you could find a cute one.

We're kind of in a "no man's land" between Petworth and Takoma Park (and Silver Spring just a little bit further north) as far as retail and restaurants go, but the development has started. It's changed so much in the short time we've lived there. Like it or not, we do have the new Walmart in walking distance, along with a Rite Aid and two CVS's on Georgia Avenue. There are some small but cute restaurants and coffee shops in the area, too.

We're not close to a Metro, but we have easy access to the Georgia Ave., 14th Street and 16th Street bus routes.

I also like that I have easy access to other parts of the area via Military Road and Rock Creek Parkway.

I agree with the PP who suggested Fort Totten.[/quote]

I second this neighborhood! We just moved here 2 years ago - lots of adorable craftmans, great parks, slow development, but it's coming. Houses are in your range - join us![/quote]
