We are currently living in a furnished sublet in the Brookland neighborhood. For those of you who know D.C., the nearest Metro stop is the CUA-Brookland stop on the Red line. This neighborhood has lots of large houses and most have a fairly large lawn as well. While you don't see a lot of kids out and about, after going to play group twice, I would say there are a lot of kids in the 0-4 year-old bracket. It is nice to be able to see the houses again after not being able to see them from the street in Kenya. There are lots of trees and other green foliage. The street we live on is fairly busy with a number of cars passing each day. There is a bus that runs on our street as well.
The post office is within easy walking distance and we can walk to a larger shopping area in about 25 minutes. There are also take-out restaurants and a CVS around the block.
People out walking greet us as they pass about half the time, I would say. Overall, people seem friendly and willing to help you. It seems like a pretty nice neighborhood.

Twenty-five minutes seems like a longer walk to me, especially if I have to carry purchases. But I forgot you have the granny cart.
