    "I feel safe walking in this neighborhood. Variety of ages and lots of dog owners so there are people out for extended hours. Close to Metro stop, Trader Joe’s and Harris Teeter so you don’t need a car most of the time."

    "VA to MD is a 20-30 minute venture but VA to DC or DC / MD to VA is probably an hour to two hour traffic filled nightmare. Vice versa going from VA to MD in the afternoon where the traffic pattern reverses. So if you work in MD and live in VA you can commute no issue. Working in DC and living elsewhere would be problematic. as would be working in MD and commuting anywhere."

    "Use of the Braddock Road metro is a great way to commute to the neighborhood. It is also a very easy to commute in the neighborhood via bicycle and walking. Commuting in a car can be a little slow during rush hours during the weekdays, and heavy foot traffic makes it important to watch for pedestrians."

    "zento sushi is the best cheap sushi in the country, the Charles Houston rec center is a treasure and commuting to any neighborhood in dc is actually faster from here than it is from most neighborhoods in dc. otherwise this hood can be a bit ...blah. but if you've got little kids that's almost an advantage."
