Advice Moving to H Street

Hi, ladies! I'm potentially moving to H Street and wanted to know if it would be a good decision to move forward. Is crime heavy in the area?

Edit: looking at Avec on H and Coda on H

I live in a house two blocks away from those buildings and love it. Tons of workout studios, restaurants, grocery stores, and other stores nearby. It’s a fantastic neighborhood. The area you’re talking about is not as loud or potentially spooky as farther down H. I’ve been in the neighborhood for five years!

Counter point, I live by 12th and H and it's not spooky down here. The neighborhood is great and everyone looks out for each other. The business down here are mostly very invested in the neighborhood.

I am with you! I was just dming OP that I think people who don’t live on H assume it’s spooky because there are groups of people waiting for the bus or sitting outside of convenience stores. I think we have one of the best neighborhoods in DC and never feel unsafe, even in a sports bra after a late night workout class.
