[quote=Anonymous]At the risk of sounding terse or rude, I'll make this observation - Why move if all you want to do is find exactly (or very nearly) what you currently have in Boston?  If you truly want to experience the "adventure", then you will not look for a replica of your typical New England town here in DC, but rather you will embrace what is wonderful and unique about DC.  If you want Boston, then stay in Boston.  If you want to experience and enjoy the unique and wonderful things DC has to offer than come on down with an open mind and open  heart.  There are many wonderful neighborhoods in the District and in Virginia -- each with its own personality, sense of community and quirks. You won't find Boston here, so why not be open to finding something equally wonderful but different than what you have.  I am a New England transplant and was miserable here for the first couple of years because I couldn't find New England here in DC.  Once I opened my eyes, I fell in love with the area and appreciated all it has to offer.  New England will forever be in my heart, but I love where I live now just as well.

As for where to live?  You've got many good suggestions on this string, so I won't repeat that. I just want to encourage you to have an open mind as you look for a great place to live (and there are many to be found here)!
