[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the near-NCC resident from yesterday. Those streets you describe are heavily hemmed by asphalt and traffic - it's a little patch of homes wedged between one of the worst intersections in the country. And while NCC park is great, I don't think there is any kind of community center or other amenities (there is a preschool there, Outdoor Nursery School.) I'd stick to NCC east of Conn Avenue if you can.

BTW I don't know why you've concluded that BCC is less of a pressure cooker than WJ. BCC has higher stats and much better college acceptance rates. Maybe it's chill but based on my kids' experience to date (oldest about to start middle school) I doubt that. Frankly I am skeptical that there are any HS environments for in lower MoCo that aren't pretty competitive. That's not a knock on the schools - just the environment of highly educated, competitive parents who are heavily invested in their kids' academic success. Not a bad thing inherently but doesn't lend itself to an especially relaxed school environment.[/quote]

11:40 back again and this is a good assessment of that little neighborhood. We never looked there because we do not like mid-century homes, but the neighborhood is nice if small and is much better shielded from cut-through traffic than it was before. There is a neighborhood pool - CCRA - back in there as well as the Outdoor Nursery School but I think the wait list is years long. NCC park is great - so shady for little kids.[/quote]
