[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd go with Maury because I think they are all good schools but I think that part of the Hill is so great for families and just a wonderful place to have elementary age kids. Brent and L-T are both closer in, and get more traffic, and are just less family focused. Brent's boundaries straddle Penn Ave SE and so its just a more disjointed boundary. And L-T's proximity to H Street and Union Station is convenient, but means more noise, more people coming into the neighborhood from other parts of the city, etc.

We are not at Maury but walk through there all the time on our way to Eastern Market and I just love that neighborhood. Plus that school is brand new and just gorgeous. If you aren't thinking about MS and just want a good school community and a great neighborhood, you can't go wrong with Maury.[/quote]

Interesting, I think if you're looking for the benefits of urban living, then L-T is the way to go. Way more convenient public transport and way more convenient restaurants, coffee shops, etc than most of the Maury zone has, but still with a quiet feel. If I could live anywhere, I'd live on one of those one way streets just north of Stanton Park. Lots of the Maury zone is really a bit of a hike from anything. That said, the Maury zone right around the northeast side of Lincoln Park would be fabulous to live in, so I agree for that part of the Maury zone.[/quote]

Sorry, I meant the northWEST side of the Maury zone! The part just north of Eastern Market/still within proximity to H.[/quote]
