[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People referencing NWDC are usually talking about west of Rock Creek Park (“WOTP”). Chevy Chase is in that area. It’s very safe. There are some other areas of NW that are east of Rock Creek Park (“EOTP”) that are also safe but depending on where you are, the schools aren’t great. Then there are some areas of NW EOTP that I wouldn’t recommend if you’re worried about safety (fwiw I don’t necessarily consider them unsafe but if you’re worried about it, you may not be comfortable there)[/quote]

which areas are those? (the NW EOTP ones you refer to) [/quote]

NW EOTP is huge. Shepherd Park/Colonial Village (as a PP mentioned most similar to WOTP and best schools), Takoma, Brightwood, Manor Park, Brightwood Park, Petworth, Columbia Heights, 16th St Heights, Mount Pleasant, Crestwood (also skews wealthy), Adams Morgan.

Which ones are safest is probably subjective. Some more searching will reveal that Petworth, Columbia Heights, and Brightwood Park tend to be problem areas. I see a lot of complaints about rising crime in Adams Morgan lately but I don’t know anyone who lives there and can’t tell you much.[/quote]

It's still 1000X safer than 20-30 years ago.[/quote]

Is this a troll response? Nobody cares what DC was like 20-30 years ago. OP is asking what is safe now. [/quote]
