[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry, I know everyone has their own taste, but CCDC is far prettier than Palisades.  It has tons of trees, big yards, and old colonials or new England style homes with front porches.  Palisades is like a weird mix of run down old houses, 70s and 80s specials, and newer McMansions.  Not my cup tea - I prefer the traditional beautiful old homes and don't want to live next to the 70s or 80s eyesore.  Sorry!  I also think the air traffic is a deal breaker and find Rock Creek more useful than the river, unless you row or paddle every morning. Palisades may be closer to Virginia, but it is not closer to downtown DC.  Palisades Park to the White House and Lafayette Park to the White House are both 5 miles - exactly the same. If your in the Palisades you are kind of stuck with Macarthur, Canal, and Foxhall - all of which have dreadful rush hour traffic. In CC, DC you can go countless ways with Connecticut adding lanes during rush hour, Rock Creek Pkwy, 16th, and lots of neighborhood thoroughfares. Also, no metro option in Palisades, just the bus.  Not to mention that CC, DC has far better shopping and amenities in it's backyard. There is no comparison for amenities on Macarthur vs. Connecticut. Sorry, it's just a no brainer. [/quote]

I totally agree with you but would just note that the commute is better to certain parts of the city (for example, SW) from Palisades.  The air traffic has ruined the areas along the river, and Palisades is a largely unwalkable mish mox of housing styles.[/quote]
