[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Walk down 11th Street on a Saturday morning, and you will be run over by strollers. CH is very family friendly--my 2 kids play with several children in the alley.

That said, I would stage the room as a small bedroom, not an office or nursery. Just get a twin bed and small dresser or nightstand. Another bedroom is always more attractive whether or not you have kids. [/quote]

I agree with this.  I also agree with the other posters who question whether anyone with small kids will be looking to move to Columbia Heights, unless they already have a spot in a charter school or an OOB DCPS.  Tubman is improving, but Raymond and Bruce Monroe are still not options for many families that have choices about where to live.  I get the sense that a lot of us who live there with kids bought before the kid(s) were born and didn't think about schools or thought that they'd improve enough to be real options past PS/PK or thought it would be a piece of cake to get into E.L Haynes or one of the other nearby charters.  We see a lot of kids who are under 5, but it seems like families who can move elsewhere for better schools start to leave once their oldest gets to be around that age.[/quote]
