    "Great neighborhood to raise kids. Lots of parks, outdoor theatre, block parties, shopping close by. Area is under development with lots of new restaurants and stores."

    "Stadium is the last Metro stop before orange blue silver lines split apart and go in different directions. This means if you are commuting from Downtown DC is easy, you can jump on any Blue/Orange/Silver train headed East. If you live further out then you need to wait to get on the right blue, silver or orange train and getting home could possibly take much, much longer."

    "I work from home. If commuting to Virginia from this neighborhood it would be pretty bad. Within DC and using public transit one would probably have an easy to normal DC commute."

    "Street parking is the worst, so it’s best to have a garage or drive through. It’s super inconvenient to not be able to park in front of or near your house at times"

    "It feels historical, quiet, and residential and has great parks- but it’s still w/in walking distance to shops, restaurants, bike trails (river), freeway entrances, and mass transit. The best place all around that I’ve lived in this city. "
