UrbanTurf Reader Asks: AU Park or Cleveland Park?

UrbanTurf Reader Asks: AU Park or Cleveland Park?: Figure 1

In this week’s installment of UrbanTurf Reader Asks, a reader who is relocating to DC with her family wonders if AU Park or Cleveland Park is the better fit.

"My husband recently got a job in DC and he is moving in the next month. I am following with our two boys sometime in September after we sell our house. Our children are elementary-aged, so I have started researching neighborhoods that are good for a young family in DC.

I have narrowed my search down to American University Park and Cleveland Park because of their proximity to public transportation, the quality of schools and the family-oriented homes that each seems to offer. Does one of these neighborhoods better suit my needs than the other? Is there a neighborhood that I am not looking at that I should?"
