    "I LIKE TENLEYTOWN BECAUSE IT HAS A LARGE VARIETY OF AMENETIES WITHIN A SHORT WALKING DISTANCE FROM MY HOUSE. I CAN GROCERY SHOP, GO TO THE GYM, DINE OUT WITH FRIENDS AND ACCESS THE RED LINE IN 10 MINUTES OR LESS."

    "It is a self-contained neighborhood far above the downtown area. It is even above the Washington Cathedral and Cathedral Commons neighborhoods. There are unique gathering places for the American University crowd in addition to hangouts for the usual adult crew. It's a place filled with hilly geography."

    "I take both the subway and the Metrobus equally into town. Some days I take taxis to appointments. It is a neighborhood with many old trees casting their shade and filled with birds and squirrels."
