[quote=Anonymous]Have lived on the Hill for many many years.  Love it.  There are definitely some more dicey areas and then nicer areas and they are often just a block or 2 away from each other.  Find a good real estate agent who works pretty much exclusively on the Hill.  Identify some places you like and then drive around them at night.  If you see people having a very robust social life at midnight on the sidewalk, you probably want to steer clear.  Also check out the school boundaries, though they are set to change.  Also, SW is unlikely to be zoned for Wilson when the boundaries change.

The Hill is great for families, improving elementary schools, getting there with the middle schools, convenient to charters.  Some of us are willing to take minor "risks" to have major benefits.  That said, I'm extremely careful, don't do things that would make me a target, and have (knock wood) never been a victim of a crime worse than a couple of broken car windows.  Ironically those incidents were in a much nicer part of the Hill than I live now and were years ago.  Alternatively, my car was jacked from in front of a very expensive house in Upper NW.

Welcome to the Hill.  Make sure to join Moms on the Hill once you move here.[/quote]
