[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you care about metro proximity and a specific line, OP?[/quote]

We'd like to be near the blue, orange and silver lines. I'd be up for a 10-15 minute walk. [/quote]

Oh, that really points to Brent, then.  You'd be hard pressed to have that IB for Maury.[/quote]

You could have that for Maury; the metro station would be stadium-armory. Look in the SE portion of the boundary. However, whether that is a few stops better or worse than Brent (Capitol South) for OP depends on whether she's heading east or west for her commute. [/quote]

The closest you could get in the L-T zone is if you lived on 7th/8th and D/E. Then you could probably walk to Eastern Market in exactly 15 minutes. That said, if that's your priority, then Brent is going to be your best bet.

One question is where you're going on that line though. If you're planning to take it past Metro Center, you should run the metro trip planner tool, because often it is faster to take the Red Line and then switch at Metro Center because the Blue/Orange does that big loop around; on the flip side, if you're not going further than Metro Center, you may want to consider bus routes, because those may be equally fast and give you many more options in both zones. If you're heading out in the other direction, then the Maury zone around Stadium Armory could give you good options (though that area of the zone doesn't have as many amenities).[/quote]

Sorry, somehow I lost of line of my previous reply. There is also definitely an area on the west side of the Maury zone where you could walk to Eastern Market in less than 15 minutes. Basically w/in a block or two of where the LT and Maury zones meet at 8th & D, you can get to Eastern Market in 15 minutes. It's a small sliver of both zones though. Brent probably all of the zone could walk to the Capitol South and/or Eastern Market metro w/in 15 minutes... and most places more like 5-10 max.[/quote]
