Love this neighborhood. It is super safe and has a good amount of things to do. The best part about it is obviously the cathedral. I have spent many evenings on the front lawn - watching the sunset, having picnics, etc. This neighborhood is good for college students because American, Georgetown, and GW are all not too far from here. I go to UDC and it is also just a short bike ride away.
I like how safe it is and how accesible restaurants, supermarkets, and banks are. I do agree that there could be a metro station (tenleytown and cleveland park ate both too far to walk to). Also, living is a bit expensive and there are so many college students, like me, that would benefit from living in this area (close to AU and GW). But due to high rents, it is very dificult. The restaurants here, although good, are very pricey too. Lastly, it would be more beneficial to us if there was a better bike trail.
Cathedral Heights is a great place to live. It is a nice area with lots of local places to eat and access to public transportation. It is close to American University and so there are a lot of students. Housing is on the expensive side.
