There are also a significant number of multifamily apartments in the neighborhood as well.

The neighborhood will appeal to those with small children because of Ashburton Elementary and Middle School located off of Hilton Road. Although there is no dedicated green space in the neighborhood, residents have access to nearby Towanda Playground. Access to public transportation is excellent with the nearby West Coldspring Metro Station and numerous public bus stops along the main streets.. As far as restaurants, shopping and other amenities, residents will need to venture out into other neighborhoods for these activities.

There Like many neighborhoods in large cities, crimes against people and property can occur at any time and crime rates can vary from street to street and day to day. As always, check recent crime statistics to make an informed decision on any neighborhood you are considering living in or visiting.

This may be a neighborhood worth investigating. Anytime you can find affordable housing near a Metro station take a hard look at it to see if it fits. Make sure you are ok with the metro /train activity first, especially at night.
