I still remember an agent pretending we were “overly sensitive” while the windows rattled

It is a reasonable and fitting question to ask of those of you who bought in the Palisades and Foxhall since 2015 (the flight path change). There was no discount and you could have bought anywhere WOTP without the flight path: what was your reasoning or did you simply not know the extent of it?

We were advised to avoid double yellow roads and traffic choked/bus stop streets (parts of Chevy Chase), the flight path (Palisades, Foxhall, Kent), and the broadcasting towers (Tenleytown, Friendship Heights). Apparently that is not just not great for your lifestyle but is increasingly an issue when it comes to resale.

Those areas are nice but they are at risk for spillover crime.

Sounds like it’s Wesley Heights or Normanstone.

The thread is: differences amongst the NW DC neighborhoods. The biggest difference in the Palisades, Foxhall and Kent is a massive flight path. It is perfectly fair to state that, and very relevant.

However, routinely anyone stating the truth about the life endured under that flight path, gets deleted and blocked. I confirm that I would think twice and hard before paying a premium to live under a flight path, based upon living in the Palisades. In fact, I wouldn’t do it.

This article is hilarious and true:

We did! The Palisades. Very excited.

Yay congratulations! We live in the Palisades and absolutely love it. It has been the perfect place to raise our kids. Hope you love it here, and welcome!

Cleveland Park, Woodley Park, Forest Hills if you can afford these areas.
