[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are considering a few different DC neighborhoods but I am curious from folks who live there what the vibe is. I'd really love my kids (5 and 7) to make friends with other kids on the street and have a community feeling (think street parties for big holidays, neighbors helping each other, kids trick or treating, etc.)

-Palisades
-AU Park
-Kent
-Wesley Heights
-Berkley

Thank you![/quote]

You want either of the first two. The last three are full of the ultra-wealthy who isolate themselves in mansions.[/quote]

+1 Only 14% of the 20007 zip code, which is everything you list except Palisades and AU Park, is families with children under 18. In the 20016 zip code the population is 26% families with children under 18.[/quote]

OP here. This is really interesting data. Thanks.[/quote]

There’s an airplane noise thread; check it out don’t buy in the Palisades, Kent, Berkeley, Foxhall. It’s not worth the aggravation, pollution and worrying about the property values.

AU Park isn’t super popular. It could be that parts of it are in the formerly used defense site (Spring Valley FUDS), directly under humongous transmission towers or just meh.

Wesley Heights. If you can afford it, Woodley Park. You’ll be spending millions so don’t buy a lemon location [/quote]

AU Park isn’t’t super popular?  Among what slice of demographics?  It is not as high end as WH, but everything else OP is asking for is there and last I checked (my kids are late teens now) Janney is still a thriving elementary school.  There are lots of reasons I may want to leave our house someday, but the biggest factor for me in wanting to stay is my neighbors.  A good number of them are like chosen family.  [/quote]
