[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't buy at all and I would rent near Dunn Loring metro or Vienna metro. Navy yard is harder to get to from the orange line metro. [/quote]

Eh, I kinda disagree. We lived in the Navy Yard for 3 years before buying elsewhere in DC, and my husband commuted out to the Dunn Loring area from there. You would take the green line 2 stops to L'Enfant, then switch to Orange. The main thing is that it can just take a while. Now if OP drove from Navy Yard to Dunn Loring, it would be going against traffic and wouldn't be nearly as bad as traffic from Dunn Loring -> Navy Yard for her husband.

I think the commute would be worth it, but I am a city girl and couldn't do suburbs well (props to those of you that can), so I am a bit biased. FWIW, I absolutely loved living in the Navy Yard, and that was before a lot of the stuff down there opened. We were there when it was just Justin's Cafe and 5 Guys, and it was a great place to live. All things considered though, it may be in OP's best interest to live in the area of the Mosaic District since her husband has the option for flexible hours.[/quote]
