[quote=Anonymous][quote]   The other day I posted that I took a long walk and ended up in Cleveland Park and found it sterile and boring. Today I ended up in Petworth and found it much more lively and interesting. I’ve never really spent much time there but now I can see why it has so much appeal. [/quote]

Used to frequent Petworth which I agree seems more lively (younger?  certainly more newbuild construction) and interesting (lower commercial rents?) then Cleveland Park, the land of gracious old homes and depressing old retail strips.   But after not one by two separate rat incidents while dining at Petworth cafes, the charm kind of waned for me, and obviously the crime reports are sobering.  Too bad.  Not sure Cleveland Park is the answer, but I'd want to see measurable evidence of a turnaround -- not just DCUM chatter -- before committing to Petworth, and if i were considering buying not renting I'd try to understand why the post-boom situation in Petworth seems to have deteriorated further and faster than in comparable DC neighborhoods.
