    "I've lived here for almost years. I have seen so much positive change. Nervous about the impact of the incoming Amazon invasion. Del Ray is the epitome of small town feeling. No chain restaurants or shops and a place that functions and feels like neighborhood. "

    "Very active, family friendly neighborhood with nice neighbors and locally-owned businesses. Everything is very walkable with two Metro stops within a mile of the Del Ray neighborhood. Community events nearly every weekend in the Spring, Summer, and early Fall. The Del Ray Farmers Market is every Saturday from 8-12 pm. Love this great neighborhood. "
