What I like about living in Deanwood is that I am very close to my school, IDEA. But I don't feel safe getting home from school. One time my freshman year I got robbed on the way to the metro station. You can't go out at night and there aren't any neighborhood activities to do with my neighbors. I would like to see the local parks get cleaned up, and the area to become safer. I hear shots every once in a while from outside and it is not a safe environment. I don't know any teens my age that live around here, a community building day would be nice.

Family oriented community. Long term residents. Metro accessible. A food desert. Close to downtown, National Harbor.

Living in this neighborhood has changed a lot of different people that move here due to the crime ratings risings, housing authority not doing there jobs properly and the lack of cleanliness. If I could do it all over again I would tell my mom to never move here. I don't see myself ever moving back here nor anyone around me.

Exterior is never painted and the interior is bad with insects and rodents.
