[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Great neighborhood but there is plenty of noise from the trains and Metro, and many of the houses are older and some not well-maintained.  Last problem: you are somewhat trapped in that neighborhood, with Rt. 1 the only road in or out.  Some times of the day Rt. 1 gets completely backed-up.  [/quote]

I've never experienced being locked in the neighborhood due to Rt.1.

I do agree that the train can be loud but that depends on how close you live. Some houses directly face the train. I also suspect that many homes have original windows.  I never hear the metro but I do hear the trains. It's the trade off for being walking distance to public transportation.[/quote]

The previous owners of our house installed new windows, so we never hear the trains or the traffic on rte. 1, and we only occasionally hear student party-goers.  (We can hear all those things from our backyard, though.) And I have absolutely never been "trapped" in the neighborhood because of traffic on rte. 1.  It gets slow when there's a major event on campus, and there's a lane closure right now that's slowing things down, but these are not major problems.  Plus, many of us walk, bike, and metro/marc everywhere since that's kind of the point of living here.  [/quote]
