We've lived here for going on two years now, and it's just boring here. It's just a lot of highways, strip malls, and soulless cookie cutter apartment complexes. Public transit is difficult to access, and you have to drive to get anywhere (if you don't take the bus). Nothing is w ...Read More
alkable here. There's nothing to do here, it's a sleeper community for people who commute into DC to work.

an afford it. The community is pretty diverse as well. The area schools are not among the best in the state.
The area was once a sleepy community, but has experienced an upsurge in criminal activity. Although the crime isn't significant, it's something to consider when choosing a neighborhood.
