The city is actually composed of suburban edge cities (Rockville, Bethesda, Silver Spring, Fairfax, Arlington, Alexandria) surrounding the core city along and within the beltway.

If you wanted to you probably can live in one of those and spend your time driving around from strip mall to strip mall just like any other suburban American town.

Since you are new to a big city, and possibly unaccustomed to homelessness and possible crime, I'd probably stick to NW DC if I were you and trying to live in the city proper, which is what I would do since I hate the suburbs and I like walking to things.

I don't know what you look like, but it's highly likely you at some point that you are going to encounter some a-hole homeless person who is going to say or do some annoying such as follow you around, harass you or make a racist or off color remark to mess with you. Don't take it personally it happens to everyone, and it's more likely they chose to mess with you because they know they'd get away with it / get a rise out of you.

??? There are homeless people in NW DC. Have you been to any public area in NW?

Well compared to H St, Noma I'd say it's less.

I am fully aware. Id be more concerned of a little white girl not having other little white girls to be next to.

I am assuming the worst case scenario for street sense.
