I often recommend it to Buyers moving in to the City!"

    "Close to downtown and all city conveniences but like living in the country. Homes range from suburban-style center hall colonials to uber-modern, sizes from comfortable to huge mansions, environment from yards and pools to in-the-center-of-the-forest. Traffic normal to better than normal for urban area, shopping nearby, public transit within easy walking. Many embassy residences here; Secret Service joins attentive DC police in making this one of the safest neighborhoods in the area. The District's best high school (Wilson) and many private schools nearby. Rock Creek Park to the east, Wilson pool to the west. Easy commute to downtown via Rock Creek Parkway or Connecticut Ave. "
