We live in CC, DC.  One of the nice things about the neighborhood is the mix of residents in different stations in life.  Young couples, young couples with kids, and handful of group houses with single, young professionals or grad students, all the way up to retired couples and widows.

There is always turnover in the housing stock and that affects the character of each block, which is distinct.  Some blocks have annual block parties and Christmas Caroling, clean-ups etc.

Within a stones throw of our house are kids who go to BS, Lafayette, the various pre-schools, Maret, Sidwell, St. Albans, GDS, River School etc.

In other words, there is no single characteristic that make up the community.

In terms of the amenities, yes, if you are closer to CT Ave, then you have easy access to the grocery, Avalon, Library and Community Center.  There are bus lines to access downtown and Friendship Heights.  The Broad Branch Market, Farmer's Market and commercial strip are the primary gathering places.

We obviously preferred CC, DC to AU Park or Tenley, but all of the neighborhoods are terrific, with tremendous community spirit and involvement.  Janney, Murch and Lafayette are all comparable, but Janney is undergoing a complete renovation which, along with the library certainly make for more appealing city amenities.
