There are plenty of areas with lots of grocery store options. For instance just a little north of Mt Vernon, Shaw has easy access to Whole Foods, Giant, and Trader Joe's. Since you're in NoVA I'd suggest spending a weekend in a few of the neighborhoods you're considering. A spreadsheet of wants and amenities is only going to tell you so much. Also don't discount how much you're going to walk. Most people I know don't use the metro except for work or going to events etc. It's very common to be able to walk to all the things you need on a day to day basis.

Some parts of DC are short on grocery stores, but I agree there are a lot in general. Depending on what you count as a grocery store (do smaller stores like Streets Market count?), I think there might be 10 within a mile of Adams Morgan. Kind of nuts how many options there are.
