[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in Vienna and commute daily to McPherson, and it's about an hour door to door, when metro is running on time.  I think that's going to increase when the new "service" levels are put into place at the end of June because trains will run less frequently.  (Metro: Higher Fares, Less Service)

Breaking that down, [b]it's about 15-20 minutes to drive there, [/b]park, and walk to the station, 35 minutes on the train (again, when on schedule), and a 5-10 minute walk to get out of the station and into the building.[/quote]

This is where you are wrong... OP asked specifically about Vienna/Oakton... meaning she is looking at the area right around the Vienna metro.  I live very close to it (in a SFH worth 900K -- not a th or condo).  It is literally 3 min. to the metro parking garage on the north side.  It is 20 min. from Vienna to Roslyn station.  Exactly.  I've timed it.  So, add on 10 min. to get to McPherson.  10 min. to walk from the metro to office.  I would say 45 min. max.  Might be less.

My DH goes downtown sometimes and LOVES it.  So easy to get to the garage at Vienna.  He used to metro from Franconia/Sprngfld downtown... (ktown area).  He says it was much longer to get to the metro garage and then downtown.  (but we loved living in the kingstowne area).

OP -- this is a good commute.[/quote]
