    "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!"

    "Commute was pretty good as the neighborhood is only a 5 min bus ride to silver spring station. It’s so close to the beltway entrance too. Very convenient! "

    "It’s quiet, quaint and away from the craziness of DC but also close enough to easily access anything you may need or shows to see. There’s always something happening and I really enjoy that. "
