Buyer Beware
- 8/16/2015
I have been a resident of Takoma Park since 1987. During that time, I have watched it change from a haven for artists and musicians to a yuppified, pretentious, superficial environment, where now, even your next door neighbors may snub you if they think they paid more for their house than you did. The streets are insanely narrow, often torn up, and you have to play chicken to get around people on the street. For two years, we haven't been able to use our sidewalks because of ongoing repairs and road construction. Granted, the tree canopy is wonderful, and sometimes we have deer walking right up our street. The birds are wonderful. The community events sponsored by the city are subject to a high degree of nepotism, thereby sacrificing quality in many cases. Leaving Takoma Park can be a shock because of the horrible traffic you encounter along New Hampshire Ave. and other streets exiting the city.

Peace City
- 5/6/2007
As a proud liberal Democrat, Takoma Park is a fabulous place to live. It's known as "the Birkenstock capitol of DC" because so many liberal thinkers and ecologically minded residents hang their hat here. Takoma is a Peace City, a Nuclear Free Zone, and a Tree City. We have the only corn silo in a metropolitan area (for alternative energy), the oldest farmers market in the state and much more. In fact, we have a statute in town celebrating a free-range rooster "Roscoe" who passed a few years back. Right on the Metro line, you can be on Capitol Hill in DC within 20 minutes, but it's great to come back to all of the "War is not the Answer" posters in everyone's
