This might be fine for 20 somethings, but for the older folks with families looking for homes, I don't think Foggy Bottom or the surrounding area offer any realistic real estate. Correct me if I'm wrong.
- dccoolgai 9y agoI meant that yoh can live in Reston with (more) reasonable housing costs (1600ish for a 3br 2bath townhouse 10 mins walk from metro) and take Silver Line to work in the city... you could also do it the other way if you are a 20ish who wants to live in DC and work in NOVA.
- francisofascii 9y agomy friend did it the other way, bought a place near the Chinatown metro. He figures it is better to live near the hub rather than on one of the spokes.
- dccoolgai 9y agoTrue, but it's all tradeoffs. While not the murderhouse that SF/SV real estate is, it's still a little pricey in the middle of the Red line. You can get 3-4x the house if you go 25-ish minutes out on one of the "spokes" and still get to the hub pretty quickly. Even spoke-to-spoke isn't out of the question if you can stomach the extra 30 minutes or so.
