Nicky, District-wide, over all property types and sizes, the median home price in DC sits just below $450K. If a one-bedroom condo is $450K, that's at the high end of one-bedroom condo prices. Maybe you need a different Realtor? I have friends who are currently buying HOUSES in pretty darn nice neighborhoods for prices in the vicinity of $450K. Seriously, just TRY Redfin or Zillow, you'll see lots of stuff you can most likely afford in nice neighborhoods. It may not be your "ideal" neighborhood, or it might be a smidge more than half a mile to a Metro, or there might only be a few bars/stores/etc. in the .5 mile walking range, but they exist, in spades. And, again, as your property gains value, you can eventually have your dream neighborhood.

I'm not suggesting you live in an undesirable or super-inconvenient neighborhood, just maybe broaden your search a bit. I'll start you with one example...I used to live around the corner from this location, and it's a super cute, convenient, and safe neighborhood: http://www.redfin.com/DC/Washington/337-Maryland-Ave-NE-20002/unit-4/home/9893664
