[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you missed the post up thread about the Camden line.  You can live I’m Fed Hill or Locust Point and take the Marc from Camden Yards, in front of the stadium as well.[/quote]

I did miss that one—thanks for pointing it out.

[quote=Anonymous]Dp, If no kids, Mount Vernon itself is also great and Just a bit of a longer walk.  You can also take the Camden line to union station and live in fed hill or Locust Point.

With school age kids, I’d move up towards Roland Park or Mount Washington, where you also have the option of public or private schools.  There are light rail stops near both that are five minutes to Union station or a very short drive.[/quote]

Roland Park is pretty interesting.  I love what I've seen of the houses there, and all else being equal we'd rather live in a detached house than a TH (but of course, all else is not equal), and really aren't fans of condos (basically, the fewer people with share walls with, the better).  No kids, so that's not a factor except that schools always affect resale potential.

I do have a pretty strong preference for the Penn line over Camden, though.  Penn runs more trains and keeps operating later in the evening, so getting dinner in DC and taking the train back home is an option with the Penn.  Not so much with Camden.  Penn's run to DC is a few minutes faster than Camden's—although, of course, having to take light rail to get to the station would eat up that time difference and more.  But the big issue with Camden is that there just aren't that many trains.  [/quote]
