[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, check out Mt. Pleasant (the neighborhood across 16th St. from Columbia Heights). We love living here. It's super walkable (its walkscore is around 90), there are tons of families with young children, a GREAT community feel, fabulous farmers market, short walk to the metro, walkable to shopping, restaurants, the zoo, Rock Creek Park, etc. We feel very safe here, and the elementary school, while not top-notch, is acceptable. You should be able to get something decent for $600K. Most of Mt. Pleasant is a historic neighborhood, so it's really a beautiful area. [/quote]

Ha ha.  Bancroft does not attract many children west of 16th Street.  It's a hike to Metro and shopping is poor.  [/quote]
Yeah, my 5 minute walk to the metro is *such* a hike that I get exhausted just thinking about it.  :roll:  Same with my 10 minute walk to the zoo. Same with my 10 minute walk to Adams Morgan. Yeah, there's just nowhere to go and nothing to do... Btw, I know a fair amount of parents in the neighborhood (yes, west of 16th Street) who send their kids to Bancroft. Sheesh, the mentality of so many of the DCUMers on this board... Yes, we get it. You want the suburban lifestyle, but the caché of living in the city...

Again, OP, look into Mt. Pleasant. It's safe, affordable, neighborly, and provides actual city living. [/quote]
