[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those of you who are considering the move to Brookland to be near your charter, and are driving your kids anyway, you might also consider Petworth. Of course there are also charters here. 
It's a quick drive east over Harewood to Brookland - very convenient. We like the proximity to Columbia Heights & our friends who still live mostly there or in Mt. P, Dupont and Adams Morgan, and the Hill. I work in NW so I can drive downtown by bus, a Car2Go, the Green line, BikeShare etc. in 15-25 minutes.  There's the WalMart, Target, Yes!, Giant and the new Safeway is going in. We have Qualia Coffee, Petworth Citizen, Looking Glass Lounge run by the folks who own Wonderland. It's easy to arrange to meet folks for a the occasional parent night out on 11th Street, 14th, U Street. There is a new movie theater going in down the hill near the 9:30 Club. We have off street parking and a fenced yard. There are some streets with nice detached homes. The local playgrounds have been recently renovated.
Brookland has the dance and pilates resources and the new construction but didn't have a lot else when we were looking, and the reports of attacks near Metro and the bike trail are nerve wracking, although Petworth is still a bit shooty as well. [/quote]

Not pp but there are MANY families in Petworth.  Don't be a downer.[/quote]
