[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]One really nice thing about the Brent area is that you can easily walk or bike to the mall and thus your kid's education will be enhanced in that way. It can be hard to drive and park on the mall, especially during cool events, like the national book fair. If you are the kind of parent who will take advantage of these features you should factor it in.[/quote]

When I was a kid, growing up in upper northwest, and we wanted to go do something in the mall we would just take the metro.  We spent many, many weekends at museums, monuments, I went to inaugurations, we saw fireworks in the mall on the 4th of July.  It's not exactly inaccessible.[/quote]

We live in AU Park, about a 10-15 min walk to the metro. I love the area and find it very walkable with excellent infrastructure, but it does take me almost an hour by metro to the museums on the mall, depending on the train schedule. I imagine it's quicker to get there by bike from Capitol Hill. Just saying.

That said, both the long term school predictability and the crime situation would make me prefer living in upper NW. I also prefer a SFH over a row house.[/quote]
