[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Shepherd Park might work for you if you’re strategic about where in the neighborhood. Choosing closer to downtown silver spring or Takoma so you have more metro access. Also the new Walter Reed development will help with walkability. [/quote]

Shepherd Park will be too Chevy Chase-y for OP. Walter Reed will help with things to walk to, but ChCh DC near Connecticut has more walkability than SP, and if that isn't enough for OP, they won't like SP.[/quote]

+ 1 to well chosen Shepherd Park. I am 0.6 mile to downtown Takoma and 2 blocks from Georgia Ave shops that include ethnic food, Target, coffee, nails salon, library, new Walter Reed development that will include Whole Foods, dog park, brewery, outdoor music/movies, outdoor pool in a year. Also still blocks from Rock Creek trails. Not to mention being under 1 mile from Silver Spring drag and it’s offerings.[/quote]

Love how Shepherd Park near commerce is great and Brookland is wonderful but 'well chosen- Chevy Chase, Tenley, Friendship Hts along Wisconsin-Connecticut are somehow "suburban."    Though they're closer to downtown and better served by transit.

Like, why is the non-existent Walter Reed WF a big draw but the THREE Whole Foods along Wisconsin are dismissed as ... suburban? Or the pools, the multiple Targets (Tenley, CP), multiple libraries and so on?

I suspect this is actually about beer gardens with Adirondack chairs arranged in circles, which are admittedly scant in Ward 3.[/quote]

NP but people are not recommending Chevy Chase, Tenley, etc because OP specifically asked for EOTP neighborhoods.  I agree that the Wisconsin/Connecticut corridors are walkable and convenient to downtown, but they don't fit the request.

FYI, we've got pool[s, one on the way in the development that upsets you so], Target, multiple libraries, etc. in upper Ward 4 too.[/quote]

Right PP specifically asks for EOTP and here come Chevy Chasers.

The point is with SP it doesn’t have to be well chosen SP. Every part of SP is within 1 mile to library, park, elementary school, Target, restaurants, and a metro stop. Southern SP is under a mile to Takoma offerings and Walter Reed. Northern SP is under a mile to Silver Spring offerings. Only a small part of Chevy Chase is near Ct Ave. Also, the brewery coming to Walter Reed is slated to be a full brewery.

Ps for anyone that isn’t aware, the Sumer lineups at WR are pretty great. Have been a great addition to the neighborhood.[/quote]

True, the ask was for good schools EOTP.  What are the good middle and high schools EOTP? Unequivocally, reliably good schools that are attendance-by-right for 6th - 12th graders?  
 .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .  .  .  .  .  .  . . ....

Right, there aren't any.  Which is why people point out actual good schools that will survive any boundary review.  These happen to be WOTP, and that's why people suggest the actually large parts of Chevy Chase near Connecticut, along with Tenley, Wakefield, and so on.[/quote]
