[quote=Anonymous]It's an area with lots of stuff - chains and otherwise. Very convenient, and very walkable. You'll find some higher end/urban downtown stuff like Whole Foods/WSC/CakeLove/cute restaurants/farmers market/etc... but you'll also find some chains like Chik-Fil-A/Red Lobster/New York and Company clothes/etc...

The metro isn't really in the middle of downtown, but rather, it's across Ga. Ave. Not terribly convenient to the "downtown" (but very convenient to Discovery HQ, and some offices).

The homes around downtown range from charming to "ehh," the apartments from old and grungy to fancy and new. In my opinion, the nicer homes are closer to the Whole Foods/Strosniders Hardware side, and further away from metro. There are some nicer condo-looking or apartment-type places there, too. This side of Ga Ave. is the one that's walkable to multiple grocery stores, gym, restaurants, etc...  I'm talking east of Georgia, south of Colesville, north of Sligo. There are also townhomes right near the metro if you need to metro to work but want to walk a bit further to the "stuff."

Again, a personal opinion, but if I lived in one the homes near the WF/Strosniders (I think the street I see is Cedar Avenue?) with a kid or two, I'd be happy to walk to stuff on the weekends/nights, and be happier if I could drive to work in NW or SS or even Bethesda rather than use transit.
