    "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."

    "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. "

    "I've lived in this neighborhood for 4 years and it's great - there are grocery stores within walking distance, and lots of public transit if you need. 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. "
