[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The schools aren't as prestigious as the rest of FFX county, and it's a hike to any of the privates. It's also a hike into downtown, with a slowdown through Old Town, and poor transit availability. It's very quiet down there, though, and people who live there seem to love it. [/quote]

Yes, the closest metro is Huntington - it's not an area for people who are daily metro riders. (We pretty much never use it.) But it's not a hike into downtown - all of 20-25 minutes up the parkway or 295.

You'll usually hear people complain about "rt 1 corridor" and "not as prestigious schools" which is their attempt to tell you without telling you there are a lot more people of color around, especially Latino.

We love it down here though and yeah, don't need it to get even more expensive.[/quote]

It is definitely NOT 20-25 minutes downtown during rush hour. We sold our house in Hollis Hills b/c the commute was killing us — it was taking us 45 minutes plus (sometimes close to an hour) to get to our offices downtown. [/quote]

Mmmmmkay, I just drove to a meeting in Chinatown this AM and it took 30 minutes. Reliably 25 to the hill in the morning. [/quote]

That is because most are still not going into the office.  I agree that it is a 45 minute commute on average and can be much longer in the evening.  For the past 18 months commutes have been easy everywhere.  But the congestion is ticking up and by Spring could be at prepandemic levels. [/quote]
