[quote=Anonymous]I've lived in that neighborhood for 8 years and its perfectly safe. Yes, there is some public housing-but the area is rapidly gentrifying. I walk to metro by myself and the worst thing that's ever happened on my walk was an 8 year old boy bending over and shaking his butt at me (clearly on a dare from his friends). There is always street traffic and the walk is well lit. The 700 block of Columbus has a church and a daycare on it, and a mix of older and brand new town homes (that sell starting in the $700s). It's a pretty nice street in my opinion. You can walk to metro, walk to a couple of grocery stores, a library, several small parks, down to the river, etc. you're less than a mile from the shops and restaurants on King St. Alexandria overall is very safe, and in my experience the property theft is in the more expensive neighborhoods and the violent crime is pretty self-contained (ie against people who know each other, not strangers).
