"I lived in this neighborhood for four years and really enjoyed the community, access to parks, and close proximity to restaurants, bars, and other great small businesses"

"There several bus route options in this neighborhood along with one metro rail stop. It is a very commuter friendly area."

"There are nice dog parks here."

"It's a fun and safe community. The restaurants and schools are great."

"Most people take the Metro. It is also easy to take Rock Creek Parkway from Woodley Park."

"I lived off Cortland PL for almost 5 years in a studio apartment with my (rather large) dog. Having a beautiful spur off Rock Creek park just out my back door made the small living space very liveable. I would take my dog out for walks in the park almost every night after dark, and never once felt concerned for my safety. There were almost always neighbors out doing the same. There is a real community feel to the neighborhood, and the mix of single-family homes, duplex/semi-detached homes, condos, and apartments gives the neighborhood a refreshing diversity. Yes, even the lower-end apartments aren't cheap by any means, but the disparity in incomes is still enough to maintain a good mix of people at different stages in their lives. On Friday evenings in the Fall it was common to find neighbors and the occasional passer-by sitting around the picnic tables in the park talking and enjoying a glass of wine -- usually provided by one or more of the folks in the million-dollar homes across the street -- or playing a game of boccee ball. You'd usually find 15 or so people out, always unplanned, and never exactly the same group. That made it very inviting -- it never felt like you were crashing someone else's party if you just showed up. It was really beautiful. The Cortland/Devonshire neighborhood is just far enough off Connecticut avenue to give it a very peaceful feel, and a nice separation from the crowds headed to the zoo on the weekends. It's not right in the heart of entertainment/nightlife central, but it is just a ten minute walk away. I gave it three stars in that category, but I see the separation as a good thing. (You really are 10 minutes from the Uptown Theater, the Smithsonian Zoo, and a great selection of restaurants, most with outdoor seating to be enjoyed 9 months out of the year. The clubs and bars of Adams Morgan are about a 15 minute walk away, just over the Duke Ellington bridge. In a word or so: beautiful, friendly, community, peaceful, fun"
