[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So boring and leafy. Quiet, pretentious, with ever rising property values. The neighbors say hi and behave well. There are no ATVs or trash.  It’s just the worst.[/quote][/quote]

I too enjoy the 'suburbs in the city' that is NW DC. Especially enjoy taking walks. However, the crime has gone up--especially streets like Van Ness and by the Cathedral. Lots of smash and grabs. And I personally think the best dining in the area is now around Cathedral Commons. We are considering ditching the all of it for Bethesda--thinking it too will be walkable, less crime at least of the nuisance kind like poop on park benches and people shouting randomly on the corner-- and while I find the dining in Bethesda pretty meh--some mom and pop places look good, coffee shops, shopping and a few night spots. I am tempted to stay in NW DC for the reason one PP said, we are close to things but can 'get away' back to our neighborhood. The truth is we don't do a lot of DC downtown stuff anymore. I'd almost rather live near a bigger hub like Bethesda, more at my fingertips, with the leafy green at the same time. Lot to consider. But to the OP, CP IS boring...in a good way. It could have more nightlife and dining--hope that comes back.[/quote]

We live in between Bethesda and Friendship Heights and they are both walkable to us, which I love.  While both are lacking a bit of character and definitely mom and pop stores, restaurants; there are many new choices and it seems like more will be coming.  A further walk to Connecticut Ave corridor but not too far.  We lived in Cleveland Park before for a short time and the "burbs" of MD with metro access is what I prefer.[/quote]

Thank you for sharing that; I am from DC and having anxiety that I'll miss it. There is something elegant/stately about the neighborhood we live in. With that being said, besides the walks...I don't actually enjoy it that much haha. [/quote]
