[quote=Anonymous]Moved to CCDC for the same reasons and we love it here.  We are in a walkable part so it's really the best of both worlds.  Nice to see lots of elementary age kids riding bikes and getting slushies at Broad Branch market by themselves.  I wouldn't have felt comfortable letting my kids walk around by themselves at that age in our old neighborhood.  I will say it is much less diverse than Columbia Heights so that will seem weird.  It's also a much older neighborhood, with what seems to be a large percentage of retired people.  So it's not the same high energy vibe as a more urban neighborhood. It's definitely the surburbs and gets very sleepy at night. Definitely check out the area and walk around, go into the shops, etc.  I find it to be very livable here. The stretch of shops on CT Ave isn't big, but has a lot of things that are useful to a parent--a few restaurants, post office, UPS, Avalon Theater, toy store, bike store, pretty much every bank branch for some reason, Safeway, Magruders, etc. I am also hopeful that with the Friendship Heights redevelopment that we'll get more to walk to there as well.  (Trader Joe's is supposed to be coming there.) Good luck with your search![/quote]
