[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]12:32 again. Those of you who do like it, are you all well over 40? [/quote]

I am not.  I live one street over.  I know several familes on that street where the parents (owners) are under 40, and closer to 30.

As for not getting the neighborhood, what is [i]not[/i] to get?  [b]It is pretty much perfect in all regards unless you are a teenager-20something.

You have a beautiful old house and yard with mature plantings and a gorgoeus tree canopy.  You can walk to lots of things like good restaurants, banks, post office, Starbucks, Vet, Pharmacy, etc...  and you are within biking distance of several schools (public and private).  If you work in DC the commute is super easy.  Yes, there is no metro but, some folks don't use metro much anyway and the bus schedules are convenient if the need arrises.  Its very safe.  The streets are very walkable as most have sidewalks.  You are in the city proper so it is easy to get everywhere, espcially with taxis and Uber.  You are also all of 5 minutes from both MD and VA if you need to go somewhere.  All 3 local airports are realtively close so you can pick the one with the best fares.  Pretty perfect location for families IMO.[/quote]

Or if your skin crawls when you walk outdoors and you're the only person on the sidewalk for blocks around, the pedestrian-level scenery is fairly monotonous, and you have to wait on a deserted (by pedestrians) corner for more than 10 minutes for a bus if you wish to leave your neighborhood outside of rush hour. If you don't like that you can't walk beyond your immediate neighborhood and into the rest of the city, if you'd rather have the option of walking to work, if you don't know what you'd do with so many bedrooms because you grew up in urban apartments yourself and have always lived in one, if you don't want your children to have to learn to drive too early just so that they can escape their boooring residential blocks...[/quote]
