No. The answer to your question is "no."

Another no; closest you'll get is Palisades/Brookmont/Glen Echo/Cabin John.

I'm from the PNW and live in Del Ray. It's a nice community and people are friendly. That's more than I can say for a lot of DC, where most people don't even say hi to you.

The older parts of Hyattsville might be kinda close to what you're looking for ...

There are some pockets in Glover Park - and Palisades - feel woodsy and yet are wonderfully city based. I am so over Takoma Park: so much traffic, congestion spill over from Silver Spring and DC. and so many neighborhoods bisected with cut-through streets

U Street is a downtown area with restaurants, bars, clubs and theater. However the vibe is more East coast than California.

Del Rey or Capitol Hill. But best to just stay away. Try to go west.
