2 blocks from 2 Amy’s, OP is strung out. Compared to “North Potomac” = Gaithersburg this is nothing. Who knows where the “heart”’of a neighborhood is? It could be a vibrant edge. They didn’t say “center” or “historic”. I loathe realtor speak but this is not nearly as exciting as I hoped. |

Ha, no. No one has heard of Wakefield; they think you mean VA when you say it. I've never heard anyone in Wakefield (which is tiny) say they live in Cleveland Park. They are north of North Cleveland Park. When people inevitably respond, "Where is Wakefield, never heard of it?" the answer, since Wakefield is a part of ANC3F which is mostly Forest Hills, will be "between Forest Hills and Tenleytown: or "just below Chevy Chase DC." In fact, one corner of Wakefield by Politics and Prose will be outlined on Google maps for both Chevy Chase and Wakefield in a search for those neighborhood names, so most people on the north end will just say Chevy Chase. In any case, Wakefield is close enough to walk to the commercial centers of Tenleytown, Wakefield, Chevy Chase, Friendship Heights, and Van Ness, plus all three metro stops. Any of those would be used to describe where it is before Cleveland Park, though maybe on the south border folks might say North Cleveland Park since it is across the street. In any case, it is really hard to buy into a SFH in Wakefield as they are so rarely on the market. |

It’s just an annoying and unnecessary lie. Cathedral Heights is a great neighborhood and it seems like the realtor doesn’t know the area that well. |

| Buyers are smart and will know the real location of this home before deciding to see it...heart, or no heart. |

False. That area has been called Cathedral Heights for a century.
Strong agree.
Best is doing a lot of work in that sentence. The Mass Ave bus service isn't frequent enough and gets too bogged down in rush hour traffic. The one major advantage of the Connecticut Ave side of Cleveland Park—and it's a really big one—is a Metro stop right there. |

I can’t even walk by there because I hate it so much. There is such demand in the area for welcoming public spaces and it just sits empty. It could have been a private school with a playground. |

What’s not welcoming about Rosedale? The dog registration nonsense is overpriced and exclusionary, sure, but it’s otherwise entirely open to the public. And it seems pretty popular on evenings and weekends. |
