[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - also adding that my husband’s job provides shuttles from the train station in Ft Meade hence the comment about living near union station. Also, we would rent because we don’t know if this is a short term move or longer term. We would prefer a condo or row home or something that is NOT a house with all the yard maintenance etc. We currently rent a first floor condo that has a small yard which would be ideal.[/quote]

I still would live in MD - maybe near a train station (MARC) that the one who works in DC can take. In metro DC, public transport is hub and spoke, so it is almost always easier to take public transit to/from work in DC while living somewhere outside DC.

Have you been to Union Station recently? Huge issues there since the pandemic.

If you stay out of the bathrooms and are just using Union Station during commuting hours, it's fine.  That said, the commute from Union Station to Ft Meade plus a shuttle 5 days a week sounds horrific.  I wouldn't even consider it unless it were a unique job opportunity with a finite term, or something paying the big bucks, as they say.  These trains are NOT what you are accustomed to in NJ and NY.

That being said, I think you would enjoy the other aspects of living in CH.  Idk why everyone keeps telling you that you will be disappointed, I presume you already know you can't replicate Hoboken and a NYC-adjacent lifestyle in DC.[/quote]
