No matter what type of character home buyers prefer in a community, Northwest is a fairly good option. This area has numerous streets for those looking for a dynamic vibe. Although the nightlife is limited, there are many people around most of the time. Most areas in Northwest are quiet, as there isn't a lot of street noise or city clamor - although there are still several louder sections, especially close to one of the railway lines, US Highway 50 or Interstate 66. There are over 500 parks nearby for residents to unwind in, including FDR Mem and West Potomac Park, which results in them being very easy to get to from most locations within the community.
