Honestly? I’d go with Capitol Hill and worry about middle school when the time comes. It has everything else you’re looking for. Brent, Maury or Ludlow-Taylor IBs (in approx that order).
I'm a Brit, lived in Sydney for awhile and love Cap Hill so walkable, family friendly, and close to the center of everything.
DC sucks after Sydney! Capital Hill or Logan Circle and Shaw areas are a soft landing, but schools might not be to your liking. Ross and Francis Stephens are great school, but housing is more expensive. You might find an old 3 bedroom apartment if you are lucky for 1.2 million.

Hey OP: Are you still on here? If so, where did you end up?

Definitely feels like two different cities, depending on where you live.
Here's a house in Cleveland Park, inbounds for Eaton. Adjacent to Woodley Park, also very easy to get to Rock Creek Park in order to commute to Southeast. Another great area.
