Getting Around Town: Public Transit

Cullen P. Watson, Esq.

Getting Around Town: Public Transit.

Thinking of buying a house in the DC metro area?  Want to use public transit to commute to work?  The Washington Metropolitan Transit Authority has a great Trip Planner tool that gives various options for commuting from home to work depending on the day and time.  

Sometimes clients fall in love with a house from pictures online.  And while the house checks all the boxes, the three most important things in the real estate are location, location, and location.  Frequently, I’ll send the WMATA trip planner results from the dream house to work location and the house quickly loses its appeal. 

So if you’re checking out houses in new neighborhood and like to use public transit, the WMATA Trip Planner can be a great tool to rule out neighborhood that might not work and identify neighborhoods that might be especially appealing.  So when the time comes you can -- Buy Smart.  Live Well.
