[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It really depends on your tolerance for street crime.  I live in Capitol Hill but a lot of DCUMers would not consider NE Capitol Hill safe.

I think 15:37 has nailed it.  There are lots of neighborhoods like that in NE - some are not hip or on the radar of the hip but they are good family neighborhoods.[/quote]

15:37 here.  I live in NW in Brightwood Park (North Petworth) in a "green zone" on that crime map and have never had a package stolen, let alone anything else more serious.  I work in NE Capitol Hill and there is definitely more street crime there.  The same can be said for around any commercial corridor in any DC neighborhood though.  The NE neighborhoods I mentioned DEFINITELY are not hip, with possibly the exception of Brookland depending on your definitely of hip, but they're safe enough where I don't worry about physical safety for my small kids, break ins, or property theft.  The loitering teens in my neighborhood litter and act rowdy toward each other, but are very friendly if you say hi and so are the adults in their household.  It's a city neighborhood, of course it's not "front door unlocked while being bucolic and tranquil".  I don't think that's the standard that most city dwellers are looking for though.  [/quote]

an aside, how do feel about using the north petworth tag?  isn't that an untruth that realtors come up with?[/quote]

North Petworth is totally a recent made up term. It is only within the last 10 years Petworth has been viewed as anything other than slum [/quote]

I would want to re-brand Brightwood park too, Kennedy st is really a bad area. [/quote]
