[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you're only going to have one car, you need to live somewhere metro accessible, which GT is not. Live in AU Park, Bethesda, Cleveland Park, Woodley Park, etc.[/quote]

I live close to GT university and Rosslyn metro is 12 min walk. If you are in East Village, DuPont would take you that much too. This an urban legend that GT does not have metro access. If you can walk 10-15 minutes you can reach one of the three metro stations that are close by from any point in Georgetown. In AU park you would need to walk the same amount. [/quote]

I used to live in Foggy bottom near GWU metro and walk to Gtown was rather short.  Def doable to walk to FB as well DuPont to give yourself more Metro lines coverage.  But walk will be longer if living near Key bridge.  IMHO Gtown is metro accessible for sure.  Plus there are connector buses if weather is bad. [/quote]

I live near Key Bridge. In that case Rosslyn makes more sense than FB. But in any case, anyone with two operational legs will have no problem to reach a metro station from anywhere in Georgetown. I find it amusing when suburbanites talk about a metro stop a mile away from their house as close by, but complain about Georgetown’s lack of metro access. Yes, there is none in the small area covered by Georgetown, but there are three stops to choose from that are within easy walking distance. [/quote]
