    "It’s a great neighborhood, especially for families when you’re located on the west side of Mt. Pleasant St. Beautiful homes and very residential. It’s still located close to public transport. There’s also a new and lovely park for young children in the neighborhood"

    "Love it! Safe. Beautiful flowers and trees everywhere. Boasting a very solid restaurants/bars/groceries scene. And close to AdMo & downtown. For me the best place to live in DC hands down. Real estate has been trending strongly upwards as the neighborhood is highly sought now."

    "There’s not a dog park in mount pleasant but there is one in cohi and another one around Adams Morgan/Adams mill. There seem to be a lot of dog owners in the neighborhood. It’s a really lovely neighborhood for walks, with lots of greenery and sidewalk. Not sure if many houses have proper back yards. Most homes are super expensive single family, basements or group houses (with 5-6 people sharing a house)."
