[quote=Anonymous]If you're considering Takoma Park, check out the groups.io listserv called TakomaPakk! It's a wonderful resource for families (and others) about 90% of Takoma related "stuff" It's easy to join and you can turn the settings to not recieve any e-mails or anything from them. You just go to groups io webpage and join the discussion.     Aside from the listserve, to answer your question, it is very safe for kids to walk to and from school, activities, bike, etc. This is of course all during daylight hours. It's a sleepy place at night and I would say one of our biggest issues in terms of crime would be car break-ins. 
I would say it's similar to Capitol Hill in that it has a very family-friendly neighborhood feel to it where lots of folks truly care about their neighbors. 
There are really great realtors here, though the market is completely crazy. If you're considering the move, reach out to a realtor. They can tell you a lot more. Maybe you will find one that has a current middle or high schooler who can give you more info on specific school options.    That being said, the class sizes for the elementary schoolers are reasonable and most parents are generally very happy with the elementary schools. There are lots of great activities for kids afterschool and in the summer too!!!    As for violent crime committed by strangers, it's a very safe place to live, come and go from work and school, etc. There are still so many people here who are working from home that some crimes just arent as easy to commit because folks are around and walking their dogs, going for a lunchtime jog, etc. In terms of your children, there are lots of parks and excellent playgrounds here too, which make it an even more fun place to grow up.
All the best as you decide!!![/quote]
