Also, 3yo could attend PK3 at Shepherd Elementary.

However, very few rentals in the neighborhood.

+1. Free quality PK3 can go a long way, maybe even allow you to increase housing budget. Shepherd Park DC lovely area and bus line down 16th to work.

This is near Hearst.

You could look in Cathedral Heights, close to AU. Sutton Place or Embassy Park townhouses/ condos. E.S. is Horace Mann, it's a good school. Buses take you downtown. Nice green neighborhood. Otherwise, Glover Park for Stoddert E.S., AU Park for Janney E.S. or Van Ness, Cleveland Park neigborhoods.

Connecticut Avenue near Forest Hills. You’ll be zone to Murch/Deal/Wilson and within walking distance of all three.

If you could make two bedrooms work, this building has rent control, is in bounds for an elementary with pre-k 3 (lower test scores, but my neighbors with children there have been very happy with it), across the street from a park, and two blocks from a metro station and grocery store. They have townhouse type duplexes as well as regular apartment style units.

Do you want to send your younger child to public PK3 next year? You missed the lottery but there are some neighborhoods where you'd have a good commute and a good chance of getting into a school if you applied now. However, these tend not to be the places with the highest-performing schools.

Yes to Burleit and Glover Park. Stoddert and Hyde-Addison are great. Check out Craigslist.

Anywhere IB for Murch, JKL, Maury, Hearst, H-A or stoddert
If you can’t find anything go into northern virgina Orange Line
