[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in FH and have access to both CC and Tenleytown.  AU feels like the edge of nowhere if you don't drive, but so do the eastern-most parts of CC (e.g. Lafayette and beyond).

But if you're close to CT Ave in CC, I think you have a nice urban-villagey environment in close proximity (library, PO, rec center, theater, toy store, deli) as well as reasonable access to lots of retail on Wisconsin Ave.

It seems like a great % of Ttown residents send their kids to Janney than CC residents do to Lafayette and that Ttown is a bit younger and less affluent.

We're in the Murch district and live very close to Conn. Ave., and I agree with above--being within a walk of restaurants and shops (both the Comet strip and the Child's Play strip) creates the "urban-villagey" environment PP mentions.  We see my kids' classmates when we're out on walks, which is fun.  And we like the (relative) diversity of this part of upper NW--the mix of apartment buildings, semi-attached houses, and grander homes makes for a nice mix of people.

In fact, we like our micro-area so much that if/when we look for a bigger house, we will look in the same neighborhood.  We're in DCPS for the long haul, so the proximity of Murch, Deal, and Wilson can't be beat.[/quote]
