The neighborhood would be a mixture of age groups and socio economic backgrounds. My children are in college so k-12 education is not a factor. I need to be able to walk my dog, go to the Farmers Market on the weekends and have many choices of stuff to get into (music, restaurants, poetry, etc) when I have free time. Where does a single girl fit in DC and how much would a 2 bedroom apartment cost? I'll also be bringing my dog and parakeets along on this journey so I need dog friendly neighborhoods. Thanks in advance for your responses.

No doubt about it... You need to be on Capitol Hill near Eastern Market. Great Farmers Market, small local shops, great Vegetarain spots over on H Street NE, very diverse with people from all walks of life yet safe. (Constant police presence due to the Capitol Building, Senate, House Buildings, etc that are in the neighborhood. The only problem is it's a little pricy, but if you are willing to take an apartment you could rent a large one bedroom for $2,500 in a great building. And there are tons of parks and open space to walk your doggie.
