I thought schools weren't that good there?? Or is that just in DC?

That doesn't actually answer my question, but thanks. I aspire to live in Takoma park DC and am hoping that by the time my kid(s) are old enough, they'll be good. But please, feel free to enlighten me on what inspired your eyeroll.

Takoma Park, MD is part of MoCoO and therefore MCPS. The schools are good.

It is not on OP's list, but it is indeed "close-in" and "vibrant" and "safe." And yes, the schools are good.

Not the PP you quoted but Takoma Park is MD. In DC, it's just Takoma. And yes, the schools in Takoma Park are good and it's a fantastic neighborhood. DC side also nice but schools not so great.

Deal and Wilson aren't good enough? You seem to want everything, but for $800K you're going to have to make some sacrifices. It's either much further out in the suburbs or in an area where you're going to have to roll up your sleeves a bit to help make the schools better.

If this is what you want, no place in the District will work for you.
