Prestige is more accurately reflected in price per square foot. Georgetown, Dupont, Logan etc are all first-rate DC addresses. Most of the neighborhoods being listed here might as well be suburbs.

DCUM is profoundly suburban or suburban adjacent. If It's not a SFH with 2+ cars it's for losers, hence places like Dupont/Logan/Georgetown getting crap ratings, though I'd guess if you asked an outside observer of top DC addresses they'd feel differently.

Yeah, I mean as a city resident I basically give zero weight to the opinions of people who live outside the core urban neighborhoods of DC. They don't get it, they won't get it, and they've made life choices that make it clear they don't value what I value.

Of course, it's virtually impossible to talk about walkable city neighborhoods on this site without attracting a bunch of haters. People really don't like knowing that you don't care what they have to say.

I do care a fair amount about what people in other city neighborhoods think of my neighborhood, and what my friends and neighbors think of my house and yard.

Same. Solidarity from Dupont. I give basically no weight to the suburbans either, we're just on different wavelengths and no, it's not a money thing.We could change our lifestyle and buy some cheapo 3 mil in AU Park tomorrow but we just wouldn't make that trade.

While AU Park is a disaster filled with rifraf, Dupont and the rest of “urban” DC is not all that urban to differentiate it in a meaningful way. Go live in my NYC apt for a while if you want real urban. Otherwise, enjoy what you got while you are doing pretend city life but stop drawing false distinctions.

DP. Aren’t you the one drawing false distinctions? This is a thread about DC neighborhoods. And yes, some are more urban than others. How urban they are in comparison to neighborhoods in NYC has no relevance whatsoever.

+1.

if you look at the rankings from the perspective of a 40 year old parent of two, perhaps they’re accurate. But most people in their 20s or 30s would laugh at this list.
