[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ha, that area is not cheap rent anymore. Not by a long shot. I work there and the gentrification has been FAST, though there is still enough street crime that I would examine your personal tolerance before committing to the area. It's similar to a lot of gentrifying neighborhoods where people are raising young kids - Petworth near the metro, Columbia Heights, etc.

I have one friend that lives in bounds for J.O. Wilson and she's comfortable sending her child there. Walking past during drop off and pick up times, I see a lot of, ahem, older white kids, so I'd assume there's a critical mass and you wouldn't be the only gentrifier choosing the neighborhood school.

Gentrification has been fast? I love that if you did't notice it didn't happen.

And to the poster who did a crime search within 1500 feet, please think about that search for a moment. You get almost the exact same results searching for 1500 feet of G street NE. Know why? Because H street NE is a major commercial corridor and therefore crime reports are much higher there. [/quote]
