Worked around there for years. You get the occasional fight at the CapOne Arena Mcdonalds where someone gets stabbed. Always a peddler near the food trucks in front of Portrait Gallery steps and Metro entrances at GP asking if you can spare two dollars and eighty five cents. If you gotta walk by the X2 bus stops you'll always get that waft of second hand weed. The holy rollers are there on fair weather Fridays with their anti-abortion poster boards of gore calling the white man the devil on megaphones. You will trip on loose bricks on the sidewalks there. But the food variety and coffee shops are great and CityCenter is nice if you're into that kind of thing.

Just walk a few blocks north to Mount Vernon Square / Shaw / Logan Circle / even NoMa and everything is nicer.
I would not live there. It’s loud, full of tourists, and doesn’t feel like “real” dc because it’s not really a neighborhood, just a bunch of offices and chain stores
I lived in Mt Vernon square (6 min walk from chinatown metro, above the Wise Guys). There’s a fantastic energy in that area during the day, but luckily it quiets down significantly most days after 10, no later than 12 (because the metro) because nightlife isnt like 14th or U st.
Damn that sounds dope
My wife was living there when we first met and I had another buddy who also lived there right out of college. Both moved within a year.
My impression was that it was always loud with the sounds of crowds, street performers, horns, etc. in addition, because it’s a very high traffic area with lots of tourists, homeless, panhandlers, etc.
It’s essentially a toned down version of Times Square in NYC. If you love being overstimulated it could work, but if you love (or even don’t actively hate) Rosslyn then you probably won’t like Penn Quarter/Chinatown.
Thanks a lot for the detailed response 🤝🏽
Penn quarter is nice. The further right you go into Chinatown is not.
Chinatown is sketchy, lots of homeless and mentally ill
I’d recommend checking out MVT or Shaw. Still lively but have better blend of residential/restaurants/bars. Chinatown is super loud as others have noted. Also if we ever go back to having events at Capital One Arena, you have to plan around games/concerts because it’s a PAIN to get an Uber when things end and everyone leaves at once.
I lived there - didn’t love it and honestly the apartment buildings there feel like slightly updated dorms (filled with Georgetown law students)
Def wouldn’t live there...there are better areas.
Penn Quarter is great, Chinatown not so much.
yeah it’s convenient for scoring some meth off the mobs of people tweaking outside the metro entrance. No thanks and don’t do any further east either.
I prefer to live somewhere where I don’t have to worry about wife walking the dog after dusk
My bf lived around Chinatown for 1.5 years and I was there most days and nights out of the week. It’s fine but not somewhere I completely felt comfortable walking around alone as a woman at night. I’ve seen drug deals/drug busts/and a man walking with a very large combat knife held outwards in front of him. All in broad daylight 😀
Haha wowww
