Has anybody moved to DC from Boston? I live in VA, but want to move into DC in the Fall when my lease ends. Any suggestions for neighborhoods? I want a similar vibe to Back Bay, Seaport, or Brookline.

I lived in Brookline for ~3 years and loved it - I’ve lived in Eastern Market for 4 years and would argue it’s even better. I love Boston and DC reminds me of it in many ways but I’ll never go back to the Boston winters.

Logan Circle has a similar vibe to the South End, Navy Yard is like Seaport, Woodley Park is kinda like Brookline

Yeah....no

Try Navy Yard, SW waterfront, or Georgetown waterfront.

How about Capital Hill near 8th St? It might have a Brookline vibe. If you want more shopping options, I’d go for DuPont/West End/Georgetown. Logan/Shaw may work for you too.

Agree with the Eastern Market/8th street Capitol Hill recs! Plus easy access to H street, Navy yard and Logan circle/Shaw areas

Oh man. Went from Coolidge Corner to Dupont, but not the same! Good luck finding something. Maybe somewhere within walking distance of U/14th and 17th.

Lived in CC by the TJs for a year. Loved the area

I lived in Union Square in Sommerville, but I would say the Wharf area would be your best bet.

Lived in Boston/Beacon Street- Brookline/Chestnut Hill for ~7 years and I agree with the other posters. Navy yard and SW Waterfront are definitely similar to seaport. Brookline (the Beacon street parts and not the Tom Brady neighborhood parts) could be like a combo of Logan Circle and Woolley Park. Cap Hill and Georgetown are similar to Back Bay. Georgetown reminds me the most of Boston especially since M street has resemblance to Newbury.

I’m a SPED Resource/Inclusion Teacher which I really love. I really like working with the Gen Ed teachers maybe because my background is Gen Ed.

What happened to SPED working with Gen Ed? Maybe I’m old school, but this seems so wrong to me. Thoughts?
