[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Brookdale CCMD right over the line from DC[/quote]

Does it actually feel neighborhoody though? Or is it full of boomers and empty nesters.[/quote]

Every time we’ve walked through this neighborhood it’s been completely dead. Never saw a kid, only older folks walking dogs.

I’ve heard a lot about how family friendly this neighborhood is - anyone living there currently can chime in? what’s the percentage of young her families versus kids in ms/hs versus empty nesters?

What’s the neighborhood dynamic like? Are people friendly ? Nosy? Lots of frequent complainers over small inconveniences? [/quote]

I live there with kids under 5. People are very friendly and help out with little things like watering plants and getting the mail when we're on vacation. But at the same time they're not nosy. A big highlight for us is there's no HOA and also there's no need for one if you know what i mean. The neighborhood has 3 fantastic parks / playgrounds (2 are just across the street from the neighborhood proper). We moved from DC, which is right across western, and for us it's the best blend of sub/urban[/quote]

Meant to add there's a big kiddie social scene but maybe you need to hang out at the parks or go to the local schools to get into it. The neighbood association often holds holiday parties, parades and block parties. Come through for Halloween if you can![/quote]

Is this Brookdale or Westmoreland Hills? [/quote]

Brookdale. Idk about Westmoreland Hills but I heard it's nice too, just not as close-in and walkable[/quote]
