Dupont is a little nicer/upscale with better metro access among the 3. Logan is (now) a little gayer these days. Adams Morgan more edgy and close to bars.

the dupont area. preferably north and/or east of the circle. you can walk pretty much anywhere (downtown, u st, logan circle, most of adams morgan, part of georgtown) in 30 minutes or so. this covers what you're looking for.

And why does each Chinatown have that huge entrance sign? Do the Chinese really feel the need to declare that this is their territory?

No. 1 - I don't care about "underaged" girls. I'm not going to risk prison for some hot 17 year-old.

No. 2 - There are minimally hot "young" girls in DC to begin with, compared to other cities. Georgetown's ratio of hot girls w/o 20 dudes hanging over them is crap.

i know that here everyone is the ultra alpha banging actresses and shit, but i don't get the trolling against girls in dc. maybe it's not like LA with models everywhere, but there are shit tons of doable chicks.

Arlington was ranked as the city with the highest average level of education in the country. Also top salaries, so few poors. It also was rated a top place to live if you're single. It was also ranked top three for meeting quality single girls/guys. It is safe and not generic urban. Great bars, great locations. One second from DC and actually was part of DC at one point before VA took it back.

Most of DC is TTT. Adams Morgan is ok. g-town sucks unless you're in UG or old. Downtown is dead past 5pm. Chinatown is ok, but a small area and not far from the ghetto.

Old Town Alexandria is really nice, but kinda touristy and there are a good number of old farts.

I like Arlington too, but the OP's description of "faux urban streetscape neighborhoods with Cheesecake Factories and Pottery Barns" is a spot-on description of the area. Hell, on Clarendon Blvd there's a Pottery Barn and a Cheesecake factory basically on the same block.

OP should check out Dupont or Glover Park.

arlington is also generically white, mostly southern, yuppie, went-to-a-suburban-high-school-and-can't-fathom-living-in-a-real-city. the credited answers are in DC and are logan cicle, dupont circle, eastern market/capital hill, mount pleasant, u st, and cleveland/woodley park. arlington is for shitheads who think black-people are scary or are stupid enough to care enough about saving a couple thousand a year in taxes while not realizing how all the interesting, real things happen in DC and that the time spent metroing back and forth (or, god help you, driving) sucks.

titmfcr.

I vote Mt. Pleasant. Tons of stuff to do, accessible to Dupont/U St./Columbia Heights, a lot of really beautiful old houses and apartments, cohesive community feel, and totally affordable. The biggest problem is that it's not in the best transit spot (LONG walk to the Green Line), but people there bike and have cars a lot of the time.

I'd add that all the people suggesting Adams Morgan are also out of their minds. Outrageous rents even by DC standards for constant noise, no public transit, and crime rates that would make you think it's in SE? No, no, no.

That said, the border between Adams Morgan and Dupont is awesome, and doesn't have a lot of the drawbacks of living dead in the middle of Adams Morgan.

Uh, what do you want, the Chamber of Commerce or something?

Let's see, in Mt. Pleasant itself there's Tonic, Marx Cafe, The Raven, delicious Salvadorean food, a pretty thriving house party scene . . . plus you're walking distance from Columbia Heights and, if you're not totally lazy, Adams Morgan, but you don't have to deal with all the shit that comes with living in either of those neighborhoods.

I mean, I guess if your favorite DC establishment is Tom Tom or something ridiculous, or you're really into the whole Hill scene, you probably wouldn't like Mt. Pleasant. But from what the OP said it sounds like a good fit to me.

ETA: I will admit that my criteria heavily weights value compared to cost.

It sounds like you'd like AM or Mt. P?

Adams Morgan is the big "going out" neighborhood in DC. The biggest problem with it is that it's based around this one long road called Kalorama Avenue -- for, I don't know, a quarter mile this street has absolutely nothing but bars and some restaurants in every shopfront.

So this SOUNDS awesome except that it is an absolute clusterfuck on weekends, and only like two of all of those bars are actually worth a shit. I mean, it's fucking ridiculous. Seriously, I couldn't even stand just going there to hang out, it was such a huge pain in the ass.

So the shit that comes with living there is drunks everywhere, puke, a ton of noise, horrible traffic and parking, and a shitload of crime. People get robbed there all the time, there are a lot of fights, sometimes there are stabbings.

Tbf, it's not nearly as bad on weekdays, and there's really good food there. And there are certainly some quieter streets, especially on the border of Dupont. The problem is that every kid from out of town with any money wants to live there, so the rents are atrocious for the quality of life.

The shit that comes with living in Columbia Heights, if you're wondering, is simply crime. The neighborhood gentrified way too fast and it led to a lot of conflict.

Oh, don't get me wrong, it's certainly improved, even from a couple of years ago. But last I checked the project a couple blocks south of the Metro -- what is it, 14th and Columbia or something? -- was still there and was the center of a lot of drama. And they're calling the area east of Sherman "Columbia Heights" now even though that's an absolute shitshow.

Actually Petworth is another really affordable neighborhood with nice housing, but you have to be careful about where you live there b/c a lot of blocks are still REALLY sketch.

A lot of mid-twenties people. Most of the people I knew worked at think tanks or non-profits, some grad students. It didn't seem to attract too many Hill types. This was awhile ago so everyone I knew has moved on, although I doubt it's much different now.

There were also a lot of co-ops still in the neighborhood but I doubt anyone on here would be interested in that, since those were all filled with like bike messengers and hippies and other unsavories of which the board disapproves.

There are also a lot of yuppie families who live there but they're not really down to party.

Don't forget latinos - as soon as you get away from the orange line, there are mexicans everywhere. For example, near the intersection of N. Pershing & N. Glebe you'll find day labourers hanging out in the parking lots. Kind of convenient I guess if you need some yard work done. Also, Columbia Pike area is anything but white bread.

um, you're clearly racist since anacostia is a perfectly fine place to live. from wikipedia: "As of the 2000 Census, Anacostia's population is 92% African-American, 5% Non-Hispanic White, and 3% other. High crime rates, associated with drug trade, reached a peak in the 1990s. In 2005, 62 of Washington, D.C.'s 195 homicides occurred in the 7th District of the Metropolitan Police Department, which also includes the neighborhoods of Barry Farm, Naylor Gardens, and Washington Highlands. This figure is down from the 7th District's peak of 133 homicides in 1993.[4]"
