    "Living in Old Town is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made! No matter the season, there’s a parade, fireworks and throughout the year the Farmer’s Market. I can’t imagine living anywhere else in the DC Metro, except in DC itself. Be warned: there are lots of tourists in the area, so patience is a virtue, especially during the summer and holidays. "

Two blocks from private school and national park (Jones Point), 7 blocks from historic King Street. Bus connections a block away as well as a small neighborhood Safeway."
