   It’s actually in Park View, not Petworth, though it’s very close to the Petworth metro.

   What is the neighborhood in Park View like?  I’m quasi-familiar with Columbia Heights, but not much north of there.

   I’ve been tempted to look at houses around there, but have yet to based on my ignorance of the area.

   Hey Tiffany,

   We haven’t profiled Park View yet, but we have done a write-up about Petworth, which is just to the north of the neighborhood.
