Shannon,

Some thought and ideas:

Shirlington – Shirlington Village has some good restaurants and shops, good hangout vibe with lots of dogs, new housing, coffee joints including Busboys and Poets, new Harris Teeter.

Old Town Alexandria — The new Wilson Bridge with through lanes has unclogged the cosmic Beltway bottleneck there, the water taxis to National Harbor and Nationals Park, and Old Town won seven RAMMIES this summer.

National Harbor (not a lot of living yet but worth a look)

Clarendon

Del Ray (don’t miss Dairy Godmother and the chair that is marked for President Obama visit!)

Bethesda

Silver Spring

Also, you might try ranking the hoods you’ve done, because We Love Lists :-)
