[quote=Anonymous]I've lived in Mt. P for about 5 years now.  While biased, I very much think of the neighborhood as having a 'small town' feel in the middle of the city.  My husband and I moved just after we were married and a dog and a child later, still appreciate perks like being able to walk to adams morgan, columbia heights, etc...  I love to run and bike in rock creek, my son gets to go to the zoo on a weekly basis, we can walk him to Rosmount or Bancroft when he gets older, the library is awesome, and while the commercial strip could be a lot better, there are some good spots up there and it's fun to sit outside on the picnic tables at Don Juans and watch all of the hustle and bustle on Mt. P. st.  The neighbors are great and I agree with the PP who mentioned how fun the Hobart St. porchfest and Halloween are.  For people who value these things I can see why they are paying a premium to get in.

All of this said, it is still 'city living', so yes there are drunk people around and car's being broken into, etc..  we did have our snow shovel taken from our front porch once and I had change taken from my car when I accidentally left the doors open one night.

I don't think we will be there forever - yes, I would like a yard and while some houses have them, ours is just one that is lacking...  and I can't say for that right now I would definitely pay $950K to move there again, but I can certainly see why some people do.  As a matter of fact, we have actually seen a handful of people upgrade from smaller homes to bigger ones - paying a big check to do so - in order to stay in Mt. P.

I really enjoy other areas in the city like Petworth, Columbia Heights, and Glover Park.  They all have their pros and cons too - and I think the housing market reflects those accurately.  [/quote]
