OP here - also I wondered what it is like to live in these neighborhoods

Where are you coming from, OP? Easier to describe this if we know this.

OP again. Grew up in New England but am returning to US after years abroad in Europe & Asia. Don’t want to live in suburbia but have several kids...so that’s why I’m looking in NW. I’d say I’m fairly liberal and open-minded. [/quote]

I’ve got news for you:  the parts of NW DC you’re considering are pretty suburban.  Parts of close-in Bethesda and Arlington feel more urban that the areas zoned for Lafayette, Janney, and Murch.[/quote]

Mayor Bowser and her planning director Mr. “Trueblood” not making that name up) want to make Ward 3 much more urban.  Just see their changes to the Comp Plan, including their progressive of “soft density” plan which would allow multifarious buildings deep into single family residential neighborhoods.

Of course, they also propose an ambitious school building program to accommodate the growth that they are pushing. :lol: [/quote]
