[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The answer to this question is: move to Glover Park.  You get the walkability (or close to it) of Capitol Hill, without the downsides of crime.  You avoid long commutes from the boring suburbs.  And you don't have to worry about school quality.

"Walkability" is doing a whole lot of heavy lifting here. Yeah, you can walk to Sroddert, but the western half of the neighborhood is not a fun walk to the commercial area. And the public transportation options in CP are pretty lacking.[/quote]

Yep. I am the Hill poster who seriously considered Glover Park. It’s a residential neighborhood with one strip of retail on one edge (and with some very steep walks). Nothing like the Hill. It’s also shockingly retrograde in terms of bike facilities, so it’s not like the Hill where I can grab a citibike and easily get to Trader Joes or whatever. [/quote]
