Please let us know where you live. Must be an edgy neighborhood based on the not-at-all-tired "Upper Caucasia" mention.

I live near Logan Circle. In the actual city. If I wanted to live in the suburbs I’d actually live in the suburbs.

Someone who lives in Logan Circle -- majority white and getting whiter every day -- mocking the whiteness of Upper NW is hilarious.

My long-term neighbors on both sides (both owners, both rowhomes) are black. How often are you seeing that in any of the neighborhoods being discussed on this thread?

My long term neighbors are Black, gay,Asian and many other things they are just much wealthier than your neighbors.

You left out BORING. 😂

How would you know, because the rich are different than you…(it’s the only part of the quote that is actually accurate).

I know because I moved into the city from the suburbs as a wealthy and younger empty nester. I had no interest in moving to just another suburb.

I live in a block party street in a row house. But talking to neighbors that are nearby and in single family homes, they have a completely different read on our neighborhood. Less inclusive and fun to them. And I think it’s just that the houses being further away and slightly more car-dependent really changes the vibe. There’s less forced interaction. I’m just saying even within neighborhoods, the community feel can vary quite a bit.

Agree with PP who pointed out environmental issues (airplane noise/smell and the soil contamination issues in NW). I would avoid those areas. With your kids current ages, socialization is going to be driven by them for years to come. I would consider being near whatever school I wanted them to attend.

Whatever. I own in NW DC and the Upper East Side in NYC. I own a place in the “real city.” You do not.

Yet here you are on a DC thread . . .

Because I live in DC and NYC. Note what I said, I own…in the real city. Spend a lot of time there but less than issues to. The silly pp who was pumping up the urbanity of Logan Circle deserves to be put in their place.

Ha ha by the likes of you? You don’t live in the real DC and are in no position to comment.

EOTR DC native here, my family has been in DC since before it was DC. "The Real DC" is anywhere within the borders of Western, Eastern, Southern Avenues and the Potomac River.

Transplants think it gives them some kind of cred to gatekeep "the city" but it's always painfully obvious that it's all just overcompensation from growing up in the sticks or suburbs.

I’ve lived in both places and they’re not that different? Logan circle is more walkable to more restaurants and bars, thats the main difference.

Ha! Another EOTR native here whose family goes back generations, and you are SO right about the gatekeeping.

Lol keep it coming, PP

And you keep insisting that WH and the Logan Circle area are equally diverse. Now THAT’S funny.

Actually, they are about equally only moderately diverse. It’s a silly leg to try to stand on if you live in LC though. They modest level of diversity there is readily matched in many places in DC.

The Logan Circle area is 52 percent white and 29 percent black. WH is 74 percent white and 9 percent black. Big difference.

False. Logan circle is emphatically not 29% black

Show your work for what boundaries you think are “Logan Circle.”

Ha. So funny on both levels. Wealthy in Logan Circle? That’s just funny. And I have never lived in the the suburbs. Ever. Manhattan and then DC and Manhattan. You have lots of gumption as a burber to DC type drawing lines. You are silly. You don’t even know how silly you are.

Gimme a break. I live EOTP but if you think people who live in Kent and Wesley Heights are "stuck with city schools" you're thick in the head. Nobody with a $3.5M budget is worrying about neighborhood schools.

But they’re still stuck with city services. And most of them don’t have school aged kids anyway.

I just don’t get it. Those neighborhoods are BORING.

I live in WH and don't care about schools or "city services" - bluntly, we can pay for better services privately.

You can’t pay for a different mayor, different police department, different water company, etc. Nice try.

I’m not impressed with your money.

And you’re neighborhood is BORING.

Do you think people should choose where they live (or anything, really) based on your preferences and not their own?

I lived in Logan for years. Crime is why we moved away. We can still walk there, but feel much safer where we are. Especially when DH is out of town and I have to walk our dog at night.

Because perhaps we like a suburban feel without being in the actual suburbs? Also CRIME? Pay attention?

And there you have it. I wouldn't live in Logan Circle if you paid me. Contact buzz just walking down the street and shoot outs outside Le Dip. Non, merci.

Yes, wealthy in Logan Circle. If you don’t know that there are plenty of wealthy people in Logan then you don’t know this city at all.
