[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are considering a few different DC neighborhoods but I am curious from folks who live there what the vibe is. I'd really love my kids (5 and 7) to make friends with other kids on the street and have a community feeling (think street parties for big holidays, neighbors helping each other, kids trick or treating, etc.)

-Palisades
-AU Park
-Kent
-Wesley Heights
-Berkley

Thank you![/quote]

As a mom of 3 kids under 8 that lives  WOTP... the only one of these neighborhoods I would move to is AU Park (and even then I mean specifically closer to Tenleytown, in the Janney school district). The others are fine, but they absolutely won't have " neighborhood kids riding bikes in the alley" vibes. Its more "look at my big house and old money" vibes. [/quote]

+1.  Wesley Heights is beautiful but you’re more likely to find empty-nesters than young families.  AU Park is the only one of these options where you’re virtually guaranteed to have tons of kids.

And I’ll take boring over dealing with the crime and constant pot smell you find in edgier neighborhoods any day!  [/quote]
