[quote=Anonymous]Takoma Park. It is the closest feel to a small self-contained town I've seen in the DC suburbs. There is a great (and improving) little downtown area with restaurants, bars, a great musical instrument store, a little book store, an Ace Hardware. It has its own weird little radio station (WOWD). Beautiful streets with old houses, and lots of trees.

Lots of little parks, yet walkable to the Metro form many parts. There is Sligo Creek trail with all its parks. My kids have walked to the elementary and middle school for years now, and they have tons of friends to walk with. My older kids can walk and ride their bikes around town with a lot of independence.

The town has changed a lot over the years, and there is a nice mix of old-timers who are more in the artisan/tradesman/hippy mold, and then lots of academics, NGO people, feds with interesting jobs. We have a pretty diverse set of friends and acquaintances, and people tend to be friendly (I find).

It used to be much more affordable than it is, but that's the case just about everywhere. We were lucky to buy in a long time ago.[/quote]
