[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Petworth still has a lot of problems, I might live their as a single male but not as a family. I want to be able to walk around the neighborhood and feel safe even at night. I once dated someone who got conned by a relocation realtor to move their from another area that didn't know the area. He would get his car broken into in his own driveway multiple times a year. He also witnessed a shooting in the ally behind his house. All of these things happened at night.[/quote]

Petworth is pretty large.  There are parts where I'd feel pretty comfortable at night, but then I know how to handle myself in the city.  I live in Shaw and feel totally safe.  Maybe it's just me.

OP, if you know what you want, don't let the ninnies scare you away.  The DCPS east of the park are pretty bad, with the exception of a couple on the Hill.  However, there are a number of really good charters.  If the international nature of the city is important to you, you'll be glad to know there are some immersion school choices that you just can't get in the suburbs: 1 Chinese, 1 French, several Spanish, and maybe a Hebrew option too (rumor has it they're in the application process).

Good luck!
