[quote=Anonymous]I've always loved the houses in the Takoma (DC) historic district. The proximity to the Metro and the restaurants etc. at the Takoma/Takoma Park border are obvious attractions. The library is lovely. People seem to like the Takoma Education Campus. But when I drive through, which I do several times a week at different times of day en route to Takoma Park from further-west neighborhoods, I never see people out on their porches or other signs of life on the street or neighborly interaction, except for people walking home from the metro at commuting times. It sort of feels like, lovely as the neighborhood is, too many of the streets are through-routes for it to feel like a sheltered space where kids play outside and whatnot. Is this a mistaken impression? It could well be. It's idle curiosity, since I like my current house, but occasionally one of those cute bungalows or grand old Victorians comes on the market and I wonder.[/quote]
