[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Adams Morgan is fine right now, there have been a couple incidents in the last several months but we feel very safe as a family. Look for the areas that are zoned for Oyster Adams.

Other areas that will feel safe and have good schools are are woodley park, Cleveland park, van ness, tenleytown, Chevy chase. All of them will feel more urban the closer you are to the main drag of shops in each area. Mount pleasant is lovely too. The hill is worth looking at, very different vibe but has lovely areas.

Avoid Columbia heights, petworth, parkview, brightwood, Shaw, Logan circle, Brentwood, noma. I know some people love these areas but I just can’t do it with the crime. And the schools.[/quote]

Generally, yes, to all of the above, except that I would avoid Van Ness right now, particularly around Connecticut Ave. from around Rodman to Albemarle. A lot of nuisance behavior in this corridor right now due to the formerly unhoused voucher tenants that have been placed in the apartment buildings in this corridor. OP, if you're looking at public schools, the neighborhoods that feed into Janney, Horace Mann, and Lafayette in elementary, then Deal and Reed (formerly Wilson) are the most desirable. If you're looking at private schools, Cleveland Park, Woodley Park, Cathedral Heights, Spring Valley, AU Park are all convenient to the most in-demand schools and are safe neighborhoods with easy access to city life.[/quote]
