"My neighborhood has great access to metro and shopping. Perfect for military posted to JBFMHH. Several events are offered for seniors in our neighborhood. There is a small gym for kids as well. Something for everyone and all ages. This is a perfect place to live!"

"I’ve lived in the neighborhood for 5 years and it’s the perfect combo of residential and urban. I can walk to everything I need within 10-14 minutes and can get to anywhere in the greater Dc area in max 40. It’s a pretty perfect here."

GreatSchools Rating
Parent Rating Average
My child started first grade here this year. We did kindergarten elsewhere after moving into the area. As a parent I have not felt welcome and my child has struggled to make friends. His teacher seems overworked with a disproportionate focus on test scores and “achievement”. Homework is constantly pushed on us which, although I understand it comes from a place of concern, has been very stressful. And the moment our child met “the metric” he was dropped from being helped. Also the principle is only selectively friendly. I haven’t figured that out yet. But I don’t seem to be on the “list”The best part of the school is the before/after care program which is done in house. There the teachers are warm, friendly and welcoming. They really create a positive and inclusive experience. And it shows: this is the part of the day our child is most excited about. Thanks to those workers!
