Please let us know where you live. Must be an edgy neighborhood based on the not-at-all-tired "Upper Caucasia" mention.

I live near Logan Circle. In the actual city. If I wanted to live in the suburbs I’d actually live in the suburbs.

Someone who lives in Logan Circle -- majority white and getting whiter every day -- mocking the whiteness of Upper NW is hilarious.

My long-term neighbors on both sides (both owners, both rowhomes) are black. How often are you seeing that in any of the neighborhoods being discussed on this thread?

Lol keep it coming, PP

And you keep insisting that WH and the Logan Circle area are equally diverse. Now THAT’S funny.

Actually, they are about equally only moderately diverse. It’s a silly leg to try to stand on if you live in LC though. They modest level of diversity there is readily matched in many places in DC.

The Logan Circle area is 52 percent white and 29 percent black. WH is 74 percent white and 9 percent black. Big difference.

Whatever. I own in NW DC and the Upper East Side in NYC. I own a place in the “real city.” You do not.

Yet here you are on a DC thread . . .

Because I live in DC and NYC. Note what I said, I own…in the real city. Spend a lot of time there but less than issues to. The silly pp who was pumping up the urbanity of Logan Circle deserves to be put in their place.

Ha ha by the likes of you? You don’t live in the real DC and are in no position to comment.

as someone who moved from NYC to DC - truth. We lived in West End for years (way more "city" than Logan Circle) and it still felt small compared to NYC.

My long term neighbors are Black, gay,Asian and many other things they are just much wealthier than your neighbors.

You left out BORING. 😂

How would you know, because the rich are different than you…(it’s the only part of the quote that is actually accurate).

For the vibe you describe I suggest North Cleveland Park and AU Park. The yards are small enough and close enough together that kids and adults are out a lot, not just in their house or back yard.

AU Park closer to Wisconsin / Tenleytown Metro Station has seen an uptick in car jackings. Personally I’d buy West of 44th street. I don’t know about East of Wisconsin.

I’m not concerned about being BORING. I easily walk to the metro and quickly get to my job and many interesting places.

Don’t ever change, DCUM!

Wesley Heights has definitely gotten much younger in the last few years. Lots of families with school aged kids now which was definitely not true 10 years ago. The only negative is that the new families appear to be next level wealthy making prices sky rocket. A couple of people are involved in $10 million plus projects right now. It’s crazy.

Anonymous wrote:We are considering a few different DC neighborhoods but I am curious from folks who live there what the vibe is. I'd really love my kids (5 and 7) to make friends with other kids on the street and have a community feeling (think street parties for big holidays, neighbors helping each other, kids trick or treating, etc.)

-Palisades
-AU Park
-Kent
-Wesley Heights
-Berkley

Thank you!

I think the palisades fits the bill. Lots of street parties and neighborhood events. Epic trick or treating. Very much a community vibe especially if you go to Key. I find that we never see the elementary age kids that are in private. Downside is that it sometimes doesn’t feel private— with such a small community it can feel like everyone knows each others business. Also it is a bit lonely as a minority (I am one) but if you’re not and this is not important to you, you won’t notice.
