[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Southwest DC. I live in a townhouse that doesn't face a street, so my view is trees, grass, and people walking their dogs. The neighborhood itself is extremely economically diverse and my complex has people of different ages/races/backgrounds, with an increasing number of little kids. It's fantastic at Halloween with all the trick or treaters. Randall Pool is nice (and free, since it's public) and I like floating around and catching a glimpse of the Capitol dome while I swim! It's a good place to be active: bike paths, tennis and pickleball and basketball courts, fitness classes, golf at East Potomac Park, kayaking, and more. Everything I need day-to-day (grocery store, library, gym) is walkable. I can walk to 3 metro stations and it's easy to get downtown and to all the airports (I even walked to DCA once when I had the time and was only bringing a backpack!). Being between Navy Yard and the Wharf, and very close to the Mall, means lots of restaurants and things to do--it's cool to walk to fireworks, baseball and soccer games, museums, shows at Arena Stage, etc. The elementary and middle schools seem to be getting more neighborhood buy-in.

I am concerned about crime, there is a lot of traffic, condo and co-op fees are high, and I wish there were a bus to Union Station, but overall it's pretty great![/quote]

Also in SW and I love it here.  Can’t afford to buy so I’m going to have to move but I wish I could stay.  It’s a great place to live.[/quote]
