[quote=Anonymous]We are in the suburbs now, but lived on the Hill before a popular area in NW as a young family. We’d never rule either out if life brought us back to DC.

But—and I don’t know if this is going to make me sound like a snowflake, but is honest—we did see a lot more troubled people (folks yelling obscenities and/or clearly high to the point of dangerous, etc.) when on the Hill. It was stressful in a way I didn’t really realize until we moved to the very suburban-y area in NW we lived in; I realized I was no longer scanning the block to make sure I didn’t need to try to distract my toddler from anything inappropriate or what would be scary to her. And, of course, there were a lot more cops generally around. I would imagine, from when I have been to Union Market, that general sense of needing to be “on alert” would only be heightened.

That’s not to say the Hill isn’t a great place to live, but my two cents. I will say when we’ve visited friends back on the Hill, the general feeling we’ve gotten is that areas like Barrack’s Row have gotten a little grittier in a not-terrific way but that could just be a bias from living in what many would consider boring, bland suburbia.
