We are walking distance to playgrounds, dog parks, and Rock Creek Park. It's quiet and safe. Easy street parking. Nice families and kids around, plus other lovely childfree neighbors. We lotteried into a good elementary school with a good feeder pattern and the commute is not bad at all. We feel very lucky to have landed in our sweet spot.



Where are you in Brightwood? We visit friends frequently near the cider place and it does not feel safe. We've even had weird incidents while we're walking to our car. Seems like there's spillover from the Petworth issues.


Not PP, but Anxo is in Brightwood Park which is a different neighborhood. Brightwood is north of Missouri, mostly west of Georgia Ave but extends to the east as well, near the Takoma rec center. Much different feel.
