Brookland

"quiet area, plenty of sidewalks, and hella close to the metro and various bus stops. only real downside is that it isn’t close to an interstate access. other than that, love it. "

"I grew up in the neighborhood. DC native. it's quiet and people on the block get to know each other. If you a aware of your surroundings it's safe and walkable. Parking is getting more challenging but not impossible like some others neighborhoods"

"I’ve lived in Brookland for 21 years. Although it has a small town feel and is somewhat residential, Brookland has the red line metro to get you downtown or to NW in minutes. Also, the architecture is VERY eclectic— there are examples of every style of architecture from Victorian and Queen Anne in the 1800s to every other popular style during the 20th century and beyond. We even have the highest concentration of black architect designed houses in the US right here in Brookland. My belief is that this variation in architecture has translated into an equally varied population in the neighborhood— something for everyone! What unites us is that we all care deeply about our homes and the green space that surrounds us. Ward 5 is the greenest Ward in the city."
