Yeah, unless you have $3-5,000,000 for a house so far NW that the streets don't have numbers anymore and can send your kids to Saint Alban's, it's not really a place to raise kids.

The "fun factor" and proximity to work is cool enough in my 20s

Yep, exactly why I’m here now, and exactly why I’ll move to the burbs when I have a five year old. I know (from service groups and other functions) a few families with 3 or more children in grade school here in the District, and I’m afraid to ask them what they could possibly be thinking.
