[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're moving to D.C. for a job and we want to rent at first since we don't know the area at all. I've stared looking at Columbia Heights since it's near my office and close to the school my child will attend. Is this a good neighborhood for families with young kids? Are there grocery stores and parks nearby? Thanks in advance![/quote]

CH resident here with two kids under 4. There are tons of families with kids! I'd recommend checking out the area near the restaurants on 11th. There's a small section of 14th Street in particular that is more prone to shootings (Fairmont/Girard). I walk around by myself or with my kids in CH all the time. Farmer's market right nearby on the weekend, a few great playgrounds nearby, love to be able to pop over to Target if I need something (did this way more pre-pandemic), great restaurants a two minute walk away from me. Will we move to a 'burb someday for a bigger place and a yard? Maybe. But we're content right now.

There are more families in Petworth and farther north, but that's probably because up until a few years ago you could buy a whole row-house for the price of a small condo in CH. CH is also flipper central and has been for 10 years.[/quote]
