[quote=Anonymous]I live in Takoma DC and wanted to chime in. Takoma Park MD and Takoma DC feel pretty one in the same right around the metro stop. Crunchy, diverse, pretty peaceful...with some traffic. Maryland is much less diverse. The dense commercial areas begin near the metro and go about 4 blocks into MD. Commute to downtown is about 15-20 minutes on the red line. Many homes in DC and MD are a 5-10 minute walk to the metro. The DC school is walkable to the metro while the MD elementary is not really as close. Maryland certainly has better schools but for very young kids Takoma Education Campus is not "terrible." In fact, many more neighborhood parents are sending their kids there. If your child is 3,4,5 I wouldn't hesitate. If your kids are 8 and 10 I see the concern. And yes I put my money where my mouth is because I have an elementary child at Takoma Education Campus. In short I think Takoma sounds right up OP's alley. [/quote]
