[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, and no.  You can find crime maps on MPD's website.  Also look at schools' test scores for what would be your in-bound neighborhood school to see if that would be do-able for you if you don't do well in charter and out-of-boundary lotteries.  Most DC schools aren't very good, but some neighborhoods that are safer and not horribly expensive are Michigan Park, North Michigan Park, Lamond-Riggs/Riggs Park, Brookland, and Petworth.

A couple years ago MPD put roadblocks up around Trinidad in response to a lot of shootings.

After you look at crime maps, walk around the neighborhoods you're thinking of on a Friday or Saturday evening when it's nice out.  See if you feel creeped out or like you could comfortably live there.[/quote]

PP of this post here.  I looked up the address, and realized that I had been around there for work during the day.  I definitely wouldn't want to live there.  Over half a million for a place where you're going to hear gunshots--wow.  At that price point, you could get a nice, detached single-family home in Silver Spring or Takoma Park with good schools and possibly walking distance to the Metro.  Or a condo in DC west of the park or close-in VA.  You have a lot of better options.   [/quote]
