[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Which specific job is right on top of metro transit? Live on the opposite side of the river near metro (DC or Arlington) to make it easier for the person who has to drive every day. The other person uses the trains. The worse part of the driving commute is crossing the Potomac bridges so try to avoid that.[/quote]

This. Figure out the person with work closest to the metro then figure out locations to live that are walkable to metro, ideally without transfers for that person. From those, look for the shortest drive for the other person. ChatGPT and probably help.

Don’t move to Rockville. That will suck for you both. I say this as someone who lives in Rockville a commutes to Virginia a couple days a week and who gets grumpy whenever I need to go to College Park for something.

I’m much happier when I get home on days I take the metro - but then, I’m far enough out to typically get a seat and be able to relax on the train. Something else to consider.

You might also consider being closer to somewhere the other spouse has good job prospects as all the commuting will get old quick, especially if it’s 5 days/wk[/quote]
