Washington, D.C., DC Reviews

D.C. is very diverse and welcoming. It is an active but calm city. Filled with historic buildings, museums, entertainment, culture and more DC is the place to go. It is the heart of the U.S.

But fair warning: D.C. IS DAMM HUMID IN THE SUMMER

DC is a very manageable, livable city. It's mostly very clean and safe and there's tons of amazing restaurants.

I like that it is very diverse and that the neighborhood is nice and quiet during the school year. But in the summer time it can be noisy at times

Washington DC is a great place to grow up in. It allows for convenient transportation, excitement, along with new adventures. DC has been my favorite place to live out of all the others places which my family and i have been located. The reason for this being, is because of the culture and atmosphere. The culture and alive and proud along with the atmosphere being welcoming and euphoric. One thing which I wish to change about the city, is the presents of police. To many, the police are seen as awful and along with being intruding. However, I think this could change if the police make an appearance in community gatherings. This can be done my showing up at the local recreation center to play a game of basketball, running races, and willingness to be friendly and openminded.

Growing up in Washington DC, I have seen a lot of things that I didn't wish to see like the shooting, killings, and the drinking. Especially the neighborhood I grew up in. Being a native Washingtonian I love my city because I see Black people in my community coming a celebrate our holidays, celebrations, and traditions. Washington dc is known for many things, and it has many histories. I would advise people to come to visit and make their dreams happen.

I’ve lived here for over a decade and have generally enjoyed the ebbs and flows of the city. There’s so much to offer including exposure to foods from around the world, and free access to the incredible art pieces frosted at the Smithsonian.

It's very complicated living here. Life can be good at one point and then bad the next night. School life i can say can be dangerous sometimes but we do learn alot.

My family has been in DC for 6 generations. We're one of the hardest working cities in the country, possibly the world. This makes sense being that the US government is based here. DC is so full of life and history. I hope to have my children here so that they'll be more DC-born generations in the family.

I like that Washington DC balances the convenience of access to city amenities alongside nature. Lots of areas are pretty. However, it could use a better sense of balance between "rich" and "poor" areas from gentrification.

I'm here for graduate school and will be here for my career afterward. I like it overall for what I need from it (school/industry). There is a lot of diversity across business, health, recreational, demographics, cuisine and other categories to utilize. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because the roads are not that well maintained, the way the roads are designed are not that safe to drive on due to the layout of the system. Public transport is helpful and saves a lot of money, but if you're wanting to travel outside DC then its beneficial to have a car even if it ends up being an extra expense.

I like going to the different museums, especially the art museums. One thing that I wish would change is Metro's reliability, that would certainly make my traveling easier around the District.

The traffic is terrible and the houses close. However, once you get over that, there is good food and fun in most areas. HU is in a food desert and the changing population do not respect the hallow grounds of the school.

Love this city! I've lived here for a few years, and consider this city home. The people make the place.

I love the DC area. I came here for work in 1998 and I have been here ever since! The nightlife is really what kept me here. I met my husband at a club and we've been married for 11 years witha 12 year old son.

I lived in DC my whole life, I have always been safe and I never felt in danger. I don't imagine myself moving somewhere else, just thinking of moving somewhere else terrifies me. I can't see myself in another state my whole family is here too so it's even better.

DC is a great place to live if you work for the government, but if not then it could be a little difficult to find affordable housing. the life here is great though. Everyone here is just living life. It's so friendly. So lively.

I believe DC needs better public schools in the SE area. It is hard for kids to go to better schools because the commute will be too much for the kids and parents. Minimum wage in DC can not afford the luxury apartments that are being built and people are forced to live in the poor community.

DC is an amazing place its always something to do here especially when you know the right places to visit.

I have been living in Washington D.C for all of my life. The housing is moderate to poor and there are a lot of homeless people. Also, there is a lot of crime and gun violence depending on where you live. Downtown D.C also seems to have a rodent problem.

It is a great area for students and career-driven professionals. There is always lots to do and plenty of time to explore the city.
