[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you're in Takoma Park schools, do you wish you could send your kids to another MoCo or NW DC school instead?  Why or why not?  We are currently in TP and are interested in hearing people's experiences with the schools as our children aren't yet school-aged.  Do you have concerns about the quality of education your child is receiving and/or their safety? [/quote]

Does living in TP make sense for your current jobs and commutes and possibly any future jobs' locations?  
I assume you're living there to balance cost of a house with distance of a commute?[/quote]

For many people who work downtown, it does. For example, the subway ride from the Takoma station to Metro Center is under 20 minutes.  I also enjoy being a short bike ride to other interesting places in areas like Petworth. However, I didn't choose to live here because it was less expensive that was a perk. I liked the vibe mostly.[/quote]

+1.  Other than maybe Del Ray, Takoma Park is unique in community feel, down-to-earth values, friendliness and a certain sophistication from its urban-ish location (that also gives you a nice commute and you don't feel isolated or cut-off from DC or other close-in areas).  [/quote]
