[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love Del Ray but that is not a good commute. Why do people keep talking about the commute?  It is a really long walk to the metro or a nightmare of a drive into the district.[/quote]

It takes 20 minutes to be in NW DC by car. It's not a nightmare of a drive. [/quote]

Yup.  It's almost like the people posting ill of Del Ray may not live here...[/quote]

I was the PP who made the commute comment and I did live there for many years. If you drive into downtown between about 7:30 and 8:30 (at least before the pandemic), there was a lot of traffic and it took a long time.  I’m not sure what to tell you, that was my experience. I didn’t bash Del Ray, I even said I loved it. I just think listing good commute as one of the attributes is odd. If you were further south and could walk more easily to Braddock, then I’d agree. But this particular house is too far. [/quote]

If you have parking available, it's far faster to drive than to take the train. In fact, having lived in both Northwest and Alexandria, I've found the drive is shorter from Alexandria than either the train or driving from NW DC. [/quote]Have you driven through Alexandria recently?  It is brutal.  I'm pretty zen but I can understand why residents are losing it.  And it doesn't seem to matter North/South, South/North, East/West, West/East.  It is all bad.[/quote]

You don’t have to drive through Alexandria to commute from del Ray.  That’s the beauty of it.  Near Arlington/Alexandria border.  My commute to penn quarter is 20 minutes door to desk without traffic.  Even with pre pandemic traffic it was usually 30 to 40 at rush hour.[/quote]
