[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP unlike many inner suburbs, Glen Echo Heights is not a post-WWII cookie cutter neighborhood.  Like Brookmont, Mohican Hills and Glen Echo proper, it's developed gradually over more than 100 years.  I'm not sure what you mean by "questionable," but if you're looking for a more uniform look in a neighborhood, cross Sangamore into Sumner or find a neighborhood where the tear-down/new construction rate is higher (off Bradley Blvd you can find some).  Glen Echo Heights is all about proximity to the canal, the CCT and the city, large lots with mature trees, and good schools (though the good schools aren't unique in the area).  [/quote]

Sumner has always been upper class and due to that the base price of the homes in it has been too high to have many tear downs. A few on the sides where the ramblers are and a few here or there but most of the tear downs are in Glen Mar Park. GLH is more than half tear downs and most were built in the last 10 years.  You are a little off with your description of a slowly developed area.[/quote]

I think PP meant it was not a development. Sumner was built over a relatively short period of time by the Miller Company. Wood Acres was similarly developed over a short period of time. I live in Sumner and there are several houses in the neighborhood that are the same model/floor plan as mine. GEH was built/rebuilt over a much longer period and by many builders so has much greater variations in styles. [/quote]

Fair enough, I too live in Sumner [/quote]
