The Hebrew language teachers are required to be native speakers, so it was cool...one of my husband's colleagues is from Israel, and when he spoke with my daughter, he said that she didn't have an American accent...that she sounded native, herself! Whether Hebrew itself will be relevant for her in the coming years, I don't know...but I'm a firm believer that a second language stretches the brain, trains the ear to other accents & has positive impacts on math abilities. So yeah - we're really happy with the school!


Someone happy with Petworth, AND a gentile family happy with Sela! I win DCUM bingo!

Would you happen to be considering Hardy for middle school?

Immediately West of Fort Totten metro is the tiny NE neighborhood of Fort Totten. Once you cross over N. Capitol street into NW you are in Petworth. A good chunk of Petworth is definitely walking distance to the Fort Totten metro. I live in the Fort Totten neighborhood - my walk to metro is almost 15 minutes and I commute that way every day. I will say that on the weekends, when metro is running less frequently, I'm happy we have car.

You putting the word "official" on your post doesn't mean this is actually a map of Petworth. It includes, for instance, parts of Crestwood, Brightwood and Park View.

Depends on how you define Petworth.

but do people that live there rely on the metro for daily travel? 15 -20 min walk usually means people rely on their cars.

Petworth gets you double square footage and fully renovated condition with yard/parking compared to the cheaper parts of WoTP.

Best value in the city right now is upper and east part of Petworth that is walkable to Fort Totten metro.


There is no part of Petworth that is walkable to the Fort Totten metro station.

Unless by "walkable" you are using the expansive definition, as in "my house in AU park is walkable to georgetown." I mean, technically, it is.



NP here, you can walk to Fort Totten from the Petworth side near the Soliders home.
