[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=lizziewhit]Why would someone say "Yuck" to Cleveland Park? I don't want to spin my wheels there if its truly that bad.[/quote]

Because Cleveland Park is a historically affluent neighborhood, very bourgeois, and somewhat sleepy and not exactly up an coming today. Some people resent that and think it's not cool.

I like Cleveland Park, but one thing that would bother me about it is that there is a very high proportion of kids in private school. You'll find more of a neighborhood school community feeling in a place like AU Park, where most kids go to Janney these days. [/quote]

Im the poster that said Yuck to Cleveland Park.

I lived there when I first moved to dc and found the place incredibly rude.

It's full of old people who hate kids, not walkable, and the restaurants are not very good. I did most of my grocery shopping at CVS because the local supermarket was full of expired and expensive food. I met very few parents as it's just an unfriendly place. I was happy to leave. [/quote]

That thread you posted is from 2013, it is almost 2018. There are tons of families in Cleveland Park and if you are close to the metro, it is incredibly walkable and you can easily access the bus routes on Conn. as well. Maybe you had not nice neighbors, but our neighbors are a range of ages and super helpful, nice and community-oriented. The older folks in my neighborhood actually love our kids. YMMV.
