Recommendations for areas to live for a young family, under $3200, 2bd, dog friendly neighborhood. Would like to not have to drive everywhere but don’t care about restaurants or nightlife (coffee shops /bakeries a plus, though!). Very open to VA/MD if we can get more space but still live somewhere walkable. Considering Mount Pleasant, Silver Springs, Chevy Chase, Arlington

I lived in downtown Silver Spring first 2 years I moved here. Loved it, great area. That whole area is great, 100% recommend over Nova (which is getting way overpriced.

West side of DC has lots of options too. SFH are expensive, but there's plenty of apartments, especially if you don't mind older buildings. Glover Park, Cathedral Heights, Tenleytown, Friendship Heights, etc. Anything west of 16th St NW is basically like living in the suburbs but in DC city limits

If you want to be in DC consider Cap Hill / Eastern Market don’t know the current prices but if you want to live in a city that’s a very dog friendly family area. Also Lanier Heights, Petworth, Tenlytown, Van Ness, Crestwood, Glover Park

Look at the larger condos (for rent by owner) in Fairlington, an older condo development from WW2 off 395 in Arlington/Shirlington. Lots of character, kid and dog friendly, 15-20 min walk from a handful of stores. Easy bus ride to Pentagon metro, but not walking distance to Metro which gets you much more for your money.

Same for Shirlington

Op, I imagine schools are a factor?

If so, your footprint for Dc becomes west of Rock Creek, for VA no Alexandria, etc

That is surprising. Thanks for the heads up!

Young family = with kids or no?

I can see short term changes but the way Amex has been aggressively marketing Platinum card, we just will have overcrowding of primary card holders 🤷🏻‍♂️
