[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do people think of shaed neighborhood? We pass through on way to Home Depot and my husband thinks it is rough. I remember there was a shooting a few years ago at the pizza place near Rhode Island. [/quote]

This is DC.  There has been a shooting in every neighborhood, even in my "safe" neighborhood.  Even in GT.  Also, by the RI metro is half mile from site.  The neighborhood doesn't look rough to me at all.  It looks like the average NE DC neighborhood.  Edgewood is a great neighborhood with many seniors.  If the first thing that someone saw was the schools windows, then that's pretty sad.  I was thrilled with the before and after IT did with current building in less time.  I think this campus is a dream come true.[/quote]

I live in Brookland and I don't think it is that much rougher than any other place in this section of North East.  It was a while back but the bad elements don't seem as common.   About 6 years ago I had problems getting my car egged by the very large apartment building off 4th about 3 blocks from Shaed.

Brookland metro is within walking distance and may be easier because you are walking downhill instead of up hill.  There is still a ton of construction going on so I would say walk it to make sure you feel comfortable before relying on my reporting.  Also if you could get a Washington Bikeshare rack near there you could bike to the metro after dropping your kid.  [/quote]
