[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone live in petworth who can afford better parts of the city?  I always assumed people moved there because they couldn’t afford H street, CH or Shaw.  [/quote]

I think Petworth is priced similarly to CH and H Street -- people with families seem to pick petworth over those areas because H street doesn't really have the family thing going on -- much more young hipsters. And CH is closer to the city for the same-ish price (CH might even be a bit higher), but is much grimier and sketchier and busier.  So again, families may be more attracted to Petwroth than CH.  Shaw, on the other hand, is very family friendly but easily 30% more expensive than petworth. Yes, almost everyone who moves to petworth would have instead moved to shaw if it was in budget.

I think Shaw and Petworth are very different and by far prefer Petworth for kids. Lots more yards in Petworth, for one. I don't think there's as much overlap as you're assuming.
