[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Much of NW is no more “urban” than the suburbs on the other side of the DC line and isn’t remotely comparable to Cambridge. And the schools, while perhaps the best in DC, are average at best compared to the suburbs and below average once you are past elementary school. So it’s really the worst of both worlds: not city-like in terms of lifestyle, and not suburb-like in terms of school quality. So why bother?[/quote] Hi - so where is safe and urban (comparable to Cambridge) in DC? to the PP who asked, we live near Porter square. Yes, been hearing more about crime around Central since Covid, but there is pretty much nothing around where we live. It's safe enough that some elementary aged kids walk home on their own. [/quote] I lived on Bowdoin between Porter Sq and Harvard Sq in 2019 and I live in Riggs Park now. It is a gentrifying neighborhood and schools are meh, but we are a welcoming community. [/quote]
