[quote=Anonymous]We live in Mt Rainier closing in on 9 years and love it...for the past two years there have been several young families move into the area and a 1 and 2 couples that hope to start a family soon...which is why they moved here (affordability) in addition to the eclectic vide.  It's a blue collar community, with a Mennonite undercurrent, a good mixture of African/Americans, Latino and Anglo coupled with several same sex couples w/kids.

Schools (Mt Rainier elementary versus Thomas Stone elementary) vary, the former has won national comps in non-conflict resolution whereas the latter is very overcrowded & dealing w/different issues (turnover of admin,etc)...no contest between the two...

Safety varies since every so often there is a mugging (usually riff-raff from DC) in the area, however I walk in the morning w/my daughter (8 months) where i meet others neighbors walking there dogs...same goes for nite, during which I see a few people running....

Let me put it this way, prior to living in Mt Rainier I lived at 16th/U Street before the area took off no one ever bothered me, after that I lived in Mt. Vernon before the convention center broke ground same result no one hassled with me..then I lived in cap hill and got mugged 3 times (2 w/a nut w/a gun)...now here.  Bottom line is that it's safe but we do get occasion crime in the area...a majority of it use to be car thefts. [/quote]
