Neighborhood

This isn't Takoma Park. Sure, the name is similar, but the difference is key: Takoma is a neighborhood in DC. Tacoma Park is a city in Maryland. And while they share a border -- Eastern Avenue Is all that separates one from the other -- Takoma residents don't appreciate being confused with their neighbor. Takoma began as DC's first suburb in 1883. Back then, this railroad community was advertised as having "no malaria, pure air, and delightful shade." Today, it is still considered a healthy neighborhood, known for its vegan restaurants and walkable streets.

Takoma is about six miles north of Downtown Washington DC and is well-known for its healthy living initiatives. The homes in the area were built around 1920 and tend to have larger yards and more trees than other metro neighborhoods. Prices tend to be slightly lower in Takoma, which makes this area very popular.

Great Building!

I'm a huge fan of this building and i recommend it to all my friends. The location is amazing, near the metro and the main shops of Takoma. Rent is probably the best you'll find in north Takoma. Management is quick to respond to issues, but issues are generally kept to a minimum because management keeps to a regular schedule of maintenance. Only downside of this building is that it is no-pets, so the only reason I'd move is that I hope to acquire a dog at some point.
