[quote=Anonymous]9:00, I assume you weren't inconvenienced much by the police cordons?

I'd have said the same thing about the Parkway neighborhood of South Arlington a decade ago. I mean, I was able to shrug off flophouses and a drug bust across the street ... I suspect if I'd have been met with Arlington PD cordons that'd be too much for me.

Or maybe you can ask the young family that bought from us, did $20k of renovations to the place and then moved in less than a year.

I did clearly say "regular DCPS". Which of the ones you mention are "regular DCPS schools" where you don't have to pass a test, win a lottery, etc.?

Maury looks like a regular DCPS school but for some reason it gets a 5 on Greatschools, OTOH it is under 50% FARMS, so maybe it's the ES version of "Yale or Jail." Be interesting to know where they go after there, though.

Tyler is a '4' on Greatschools, 62% FARMS ... maybe not as bad as other DCPS elementaries but not quite there yet.

OP, maybe you'll luck out and you'll get a nice older long-term resident couple on one side that'll even agree to babysit occasionally, and a couple of younger families will agree to stick around. Or maybe you'll move in next to an older woman whose grandson has no discernible income yet drives a nice car. [/quote]
