Interesting comment about crime in the area. I've lived in Riggs Park off of S.Dakota Ave and Riggs Road for 14 years. Some of the reasons that I bought my home here include the low crime stats, quiet suburban atmosphere, and accessibility to Downtown DC -- my job is in the DC Convention Center area.

No issues walking my dog for the last 10 years at 5:30 am or now, power walking with a neighbor from 6am until 7am. My work hours are crazy and I routinely get home anytime between 6pm and Midnight with few problems except traffic congestion resulting from the little league football/softball games at LaSalle football field.

The biggest downfall for this community, though, is the lack of amenities within walking distance. Once those developments proposed for S.Dakota and Riggs get underway, I imagine that our quiet neighborhood will flourish.
