[quote=Anonymous]I love living in Brightwood.  It's unpretentious and relatively affordable for a SFH in DC and definitely on the upswing. I love the trees and birds and bunnies. We're in the area between Georgia Ave, 16th Street, Military, and Aspen, and are 2 blocks from Rock Creek Park.  We are 3 blocks from the Parks at Walter Reed, where they have lots of free, family-friendly activities like Jazz in the Park and the Home Rule Music Festival in a big green space.  There's a nice dog park there and I always feel very safe both in Walter Reed and in the neighborhood.  Whole Foods and lots of new restaurants and retail are coming soon.  We are close to Silver Spring/Takoma Park/Bethesda and Petworth/Columbia Heights for shopping, and traffic isn't bad.

The people are friendly and not all the same.  Neighbors talk to each other and help each other out.  On our block, there are families with kids from birth through college age.  There's a nice mix of adults in their 30s/40s plus older residents who have been in the neighborhood a long time.  I do wish there were better neighborhood schools, but we lotteried into a good public school.  There are modest but comfortable SFHs, townhouses, and apartments so it's mixed-income.  I like that not everyone has a car and lots of people with dogs, so there are always neighbors walking by.

It's a nice little spot not many people have heard of, and I feel lucky to have found it.[/quote]
