[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The houses are great but the majority of the neighborhood is a serious hike to metro.  If u have a car it's an easy drive to Cleveland park.  Bancroft still sucks and the white folks bail ASAP after kindergarten.  The hordes of drunk Latinos peeing on the sidewalk is a bit much.  The commercial strip is ok.  But that new apt building beig reconstructed is going to bring another couple hundred low income Latinos back.  It's very frustrating that a neighborhood of almost 1 million dollar homes doesn't get u a good school order than a bunch of pupiserias.  I'm in Petworth which has its own issue but easy walk to metro very little low income housing.[/quote]

I actually think the area near the Petworth metro will be a really good neighborhood very soon. It's clots to Metro and now a nice grocery, it doesn't have the public housing of Columbia Heights and the only thing that's really nearby is Park Morton complex and that is on the way to being closed. Add this to a really burgeoning retail and restaurant scene and walking distance to 11th St. 
The last two pieces to the puzzle are the school (Powell) and the streetcar up Georgia Ave. The school is improving at a decent clip, but the jury is still out on whether it will improve to the point that gentrifiers will let their kids go there after kindergarten. And if that streetcar gets built (a big if), the place will explode with development. H street with a Metro stop. 
And all for about 300K less that Mt. Pleasant. [/quote]
