[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NE DC is the clear answer, and I’m shocked no one mentioned that DC has free Pre-K for age 3 and 4 while Maryland does not, which is immediately relevant to you. Plenty of great elementary schools in NE DC, it doesn’t get dicey until middle school and by then you will know the area.

Capitol Hill is a great choice but you should also consider Brookland, which is a shorter commute to Ft Meade. Tons of young families there and walkable restaurants and cafes. [/quote]

Brookland is also a good suggestion. It’s not as dense and connected as Capitol Hill but is charming and has good metro access.

I’d still suggest Capitol Hill. I’ve done something close-ish to that commute. I drove from Capitol Hill to NASA Goddard (not all that far from Ft Meade) for two years (about 2022-2024, so post pandemic/normal traffic levels). I took 295 each way daily. It actually wasn’t that bad, and I hate driving. It was a reverse commute from most people. Coming home/back into the city was always worse than going to work. I’d say it took 45/50 min each way. I did figure out a great “local roads” option after a few weeks that could keep me off 295 if there was something like an accident going on.

All in all, it really wasn’t all that bad. Would I choose to do it again? No, but I had a job there and also loved my life on Capitol Hill. [/quote]
