Reply to comment by chaoticyetneurotic in Likely moving to DC this summer. Looking for neighborhood recs. by BubblyExpression

Thanks! Good questions. The school is Howard, and yes we will be bringing a car. Off street parking would be ideal. Whether it's included in rent or not so long as it's not crazy expensive. I could maybe live with street parking if absolutely necessary but can't give up the car.

When I said townhouse I meant really any smaller apartment building. Just trying to avoid medium and high rise "luxury" buildings. Rowhouses are perfectly acceptable!

Appreciate all the recommendations, we'll start looking through neighborhoods.

Congrats to your SO - Howard is an excellent school!

Obviously Shaw would be a easy neighborhood for you all, but it's hard for someone who owns a car. Even regular street parking is tight.

Park View is a really cool neighborhood behind Howard, but again, parking is tight. Bloomingdale could be a good option, but also - street parking.

I think you could find what you need in NE DC. Check out Brookland, Stronghold, Eckington and Edgewood. All close to Howard but they have a little more room for a parked car.
