[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi! We are likely moving to the DC area this upcoming summer. My husband will be working (5 days in person) in Ft Meade MD, and my job (2-3 days in person) is near the Carnegie Library/ Mt Vernon Sq.[/quote]

The key main thing is do NOT live in Virginia, because all Potomac River bridges are major choke points.

Second, Hoboken public schools are much less uneven than DCPS.

I would suggest Montgomery County MD, and specifically somewhere that would let you take MetroRail to/from work -- while also not giving spouse a terrible commute.

Understand that DC-295 / MD-295 / BW Parkway is routinely choked both ways during rush hour south of MD-32 and in all of DC. That looks on a map like a commute option to the Fort from Capitol Hill, but it is nightmarish to do every day.

Ft Meade can be a bit of a tricky commute because so many people work on-base or nearby and public transport options are pretty limited.

Start by looking at Google Maps for metro DC during rush hours and also start looking at rush hour traffic reports at "https://www.wtop.com/traffic". [/quote]
