    "Great area, gentrification is hitting it hard. The culture is beginning to become lost, however the area is seeing a resurgence. However less kids are in the neighborhood now, a lot of families are moving to Montegomery county over in Maryland."

    "This is a quiet, safe, pet friendly community for all ages. I've lived in Shepherd Park since 1988, the homes are very spacious and they have great bones. We renovated the house from top to bottom, put a two story addition and we still have plenty of space in the backyard. We have everything we need walking distance, Metro, restaurants, grocery stores, movie theaters, Rock Creek Park, walking trails, public transportation. Best of all in all the years I lived here we have never lost power during a summer storm. This is a great place to raise a family, retire, perfect for singles or young couples."
