That's not an area I would feel comfortable living in.

Hey neighbor! Don’t listen to them, they don’t live here. We have been here for 5 years, and another 5 just i the other side of Benning, 17th and gales. Carver Langston is a great spot, it being tucked away means you don’t get a ton of through traffic, but sort of hard to bike out of currently. H st is great for a night out but downtown is also accessible real easy via X2. You can go north south in B2. Biking is on the way up mostly south of us but 17th and Mt Olivet are due for upgrades which will get you to Union Market and Ivy Cit pretty easily. General city issues of course, be kind, say hello and keep your head up. Don’t go to shady spots at 2 in the morning to by drugs and you will be fine. Let me know if you have any questions!

I moved from Hill East last fall (after living there for a dozen years and just south of Gallaudet for four years before that) and was in the area a lot to go grocery shopping. That's why I said I wasn't comfortable.

Yea I get Hill East is different thank Carver Langston and hard to really know from a snapshot from Aldi or Hecinger Mall. You need to live in the community to know it.

What are the "general city issues" you speak of? What will the MPD crime map show?

Take a look, what it won’t show you that it’s mostly not random acts of violence. We don’t get harassed when walking our kids to the park or riding our bikes. If you aren’t doing shady stuff with shady people it’s fine.
