Tonight Holidailies asked me to describe why I love my neighborhood.
I live in the perfect spot as far as I’m concerned. Everything I need is nearby: parks, trails, grocery stores, drugstores, retail businesses, restaurants and night life, a public library, and several of my doctors, all within walking distance. It’s urban, but also has a lot of green space, including on the property where I live. The police and fire departments are top-notch, as are the schools, and there are two Metro stations nearby. I don’t even own a car.
The residents are pretty cool, too. They’ll leave an old TV out for someone to take, and the person who takes it will thank them.
But they won’t steal from local businesses.
We have lots of Crows, too.
Even the view from the ICU beds at the local hospital is lovely at sunrise.
The only problem is that it’s impossible to buy around here unless you’re a bazillionaire.
The rents are expensive, too, but between the green spaces, the public services, the things to do, the health care, and the general vibe of the place, I wouldn’t trade it for anything. After all, we’re consistently rated in the top five cities in the United States to live. This year, we’re number 2. I guess we’ll just have to try a smidge harder, heh.
Why do you love where you live? Or do you?
