    "Need rat control in neighborhood"
  • Adefoluke Shemsu
    "Florida Avenue tends to be busy, so I would recommend taking the kids around the side/off streets if safety is a concern. The parks and schools tend to be along those streets anyway."
  • Alice Topping
    "Pride festival, high heels race, Swann street Halloween, Stead park holiday events for kids, Cherry Blossoms "
  • 8kxjsdpfxy
    "My friends had to move away due to its problematic neighborhood. There were frequent parties, resulting in dirty streets every morning. Moreover, a lot of people tried to break into the building to steal packages, making the area unsuitable for families with kids."
  • Trulia User
    "It has changed a lot over the last 10 to 15 years and the change shows in a very positive manner. It feels safe, home-like, clean, and although it still has some minor issues, those issues are noticeable improving quickly as the neighborhood gets gentrified. "

    "Easy commute; mostly traveling in the opposite direction of traffic coming in from the suburbs in the morning. Excellent access to public transport. "
  • Jaya.send
    "I commute by metro to MD. Sometimes take a bus to redline so that I donโ€™t have to transfer. I appreciate the easy access to 395 to get to VA as well, and green and yellow lines to the airport, Gallery Place, Nats park, and the Wharf are great. "
  • Jonathan F.
    "Up and Coming neighborhood. Close to the nightlife on you Street. New grocery store opening soon. Well diverse "

I have a bus stop literally in front of my house. 11th St has a lot of great restaurants and bars, and U St and Shaw are just a quick walk down hill. Neighbors both old and new are friendly, if not on a first name basis. "
