"I was nervous about living in Maryland and working in downtown DC. Because I am from out of state I was unsure of that the commute would be like and how far I’d be from work. I live a block away from the metro station and it is a quick and easy commute. About 25-30 minutes to downtown DC. Couldn’t as for a better commute!"
