What Renters Like and Dislike About Takoma Washington

There are stores you can walk to there are times that it is really quiet. The neighborhood is very walkable and I have always felt safe no matter what time day or night.

I like everything about the neighborhood, a good mix of families and professionals. The streets are clean and safe.
