    "Safe neighborhood, feels less ‘city’ like than other neighborhoods in DC. Somewhat pricey just depends on what part of Kalorama you live in."

    "We’ve lived here five years and love the neighborhood. It’s a heavily treed oasis of quiet streets with no thru traffic. Lovely to walk. All houses have garages so parking abounds (except near Connecticut Ave. )"
