[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cleveland Park resident here.  I'd be happy to answer any specific questions you have.

In my opinion, Cleveland Park is the first suburb in NW DC.  So, it combines the best of city and suburban living.  You can easily hop on the Metro and be downtown in 10 minutes.  Or, you can drive just about anywhere relatively easily.  I guess you could say that it's a suburb for people that don't want to live in the suburbs.

Some other good points of the neighborhood: tasty independant restaurants within walking distance; good public schools and close to great (albeit pricey) private schools; safe investment for real estate; variety of well taken care of non-cookie cutter homes; easy transportation; plenty of street parking; walkable to Dupont/Adams Morgan (30+ min but still walkable).

Now the bad: sleepy once you are off Conn. or Wisc.; very expensive homes; lots of traffic on the major roads; cabs are hard to find off of Conn./Wisc./Reno.; no real grocery option outside of Brookville for the next 1.5 years because the Giant is being remodeled on Wisc.; lacking diversity.

For all that, I'd rather just live on Capitol Hill. It seems more exciting, although I wouldn't know.[/quote]
