[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've lived in brookland 2x. The first time was amazing. I lived in the neighborhood and my neighbors were fantastic. I loved in 2002 and when I go back to the block, they still ask about my now adult children. Loved, loved, loved it. The house got too small, but it was wonderful.

The second time I lived in Brookland, I lived in one of the new townhouses behind the Busboys and Poets development. New house, but hated it. No where near as neighborly. I actually met my second husband there (he lived 7 houses down). When we decided to get married, I told him that I wanted to move to another neighborhood. People didn't even speak when walking the dog.

I like old Brookland way more then the new developments springing up.[/quote]

Got it. So, there is less of community feel nowadays. What about amenities (e.g., retail, grocery)?  [/quote]

It depends on which part of Brookland you live in. Yes, the amenities are way better if you like fancier stuff. Quite frankly, I loved shopping at places like Glut in Mt. Ranier when I lived in Brookland in the early 2000s. [/quote]

What is the “fancier” stuff they have? Seems it’s mainly Bryant Street, Monroe Street Market (mix and fast casual and sit down, Orange Theory), the arts walk, and the immersive experience. It seems like this still pales in comparison to other neighborhoods. [/quote]
