[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our kids go to school at JO Wilson on the "wrong" side of H Street. We love it.  Our block is filled with families.   Kids everywhere.  Bubbles,  lemonade stands, the whole nine yards.   We also walk to Union Market every weekend. Bidwell is a great family restaurant with their veggies grown on their roof.   St. Anslem is new and fantastic.   There's an amazing pizzeria that just opened up if you haven't been.   We are equidistant between Whole Foods and Trader Joes.   A new state of the art dog and child park a block from our house.  REI.   NOMA metro.  The trolley.

It is the city.  Yes, there are cars that drive too fast.   Yes, there are apartment buildings - both new and expensive and older and filled with people who have lived in the neighborhood for generations.  Just like our street has renovated million dollar homes and homes that have been passed down by families.    We walk to Eastern Market, Union Station, even Navy Yard on beautiful days.   We can walk to church, the mall,  pretty much anywhere as long as we have our stroller.  Our nanny took our kids to every museum on the mall before they were three.

We bought where we did because we loved the hill but couldn't afford to live in the heart by Eastern Market.   We have found a wonderful community full of a diverse set of families of all types.  It's one of the reasons we wanted to stay in the city.  We are so glad we did.   Find your community OP, there will be haters no matter where you end up. [/quote]

Your kids are still stroller age, so you don't have the school situation solidified at all.

Also don't be so complacent about speed!  We can slow those cars down.  [/quote]
