[quote=Anonymous]I live along Rt 1 and I love, love, love the whole area. In Riverdale for long term value I would look close to the train station and south of 410. If that little downtown ever lives up to its potential, it will be so adorable. Also there are like 70 beers on tap or something crazy at Town Center Market, which is like a hipster bar inside a 7-11/liquor store (?).

I feel totally safe walking around at night - crime seems very comparable to Dupont/U St where I lived before (i.e. nuisance property crime, occasional break-ins, etc). I understand even that is "too much crime" for many people although I think if you really look burglary and theft from vehicles are everywhere. Riverdale more broadly and to the north and east gets into some problems with MS-13, etc, but that won't affect the average non-immigrant person imo (except in schools which is something to think about), mostly because the gang seems to be focused on drugs, human trafficking, and extortion of immigrants and their families/businesses. I adore the Anacostia bike trail system - delightful and not too crowded. You can ride from Riverdale to the Navy Yard without ever being on a street.

I have lost nothing in terms of restaurants except that I have to drive/uber to them. Which is not so bad given how much easier it is to park, also I am old and don't drink as much any more. Not sure I would recommend the area to young singles.

Don't forget to look in University Park. [/quote]
