[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a former Capitol hill resident I'm going to advise against it. The crime is high. Really high. I've seen men in broad daylight troll the streets of East Cap looking for cars to break into. Tommy wells doesn't Care about schools or crime, he's interested in plasti bags and his walkable city. We lived on the hill for 5 years when we first moved here and were routinely surprised when people would pay a million plus. True the homes were nice, but criminals lived just down the street. All they had to do was walk over and break into your home. We ended buying in cathedral heights and we've never regretted it. A nice sfh near the park, at night it feels like we're in the woods. We were always planning to do private but as we're getting towards school age we might give our local elementary a shot. [/quote]

I second the advice against Capitol Hill.  DH & I lived there for years before moving to Chevy Chase because we were fed up with the crime (albeit, mostly petty crime), homeless people urinating in our garden, finding condoms and drug paraphernalia in the alley behind our house (and seeing the same in the parks first thing in the morning), etc.  I remember reading about how many women had recently been robbed on the Hill while walking with strollers in the middle of the day and that's when I knew I didn't want to raise my kids there.
