I lived in the northwest section of DC for 23 years, around Dupont Circle, Adams Morgan and the Mount Pleasant area. I loved the experience. There are always so many people out and about. Transportation is a breeze. Besides the busses and the metro (underground) there are taxis everywhere…all one has to do is step near the curb, throw their arm up and point at an angle toward the sky…you won’t have to wait very long before a cab pulls over for you.
DC is highly multicultural and such a magical place to live. You can find an inexpensive place in Mount Pleasant in a group house or you can rent a room only; living there you are still very close to EVERYTHING. Dupont Circle area is more expensive. Living in a multicultural atmosphere will make you never want to leave, because there just isn’t any other place in the United States like DC.
By the way, time flies in DC because there is always something going on and you know what they say…”time flies when you’re have fun”. The area is full of beautiful and substantial buildings, etc. and the trees and shrubbery are full. Nightlife, restuarants, entertainment and educational events are a way of everyday life. Regarding the people, well you can meet and rub elbows with the elite/wealthy/highest and the people of the street on the lowest level and call them both your friend. If you don’t have “street smarts” when you get there, believe me, you will when you leave. It’s a great place to discover the aspects of your personality that never had a chance to express themselves before.
So, use good judgment but don’t let it make you a prisoner. My vote is that you definitely move to Washington, DC as you will never regret it. Last, but not least, since there is a pretty wide use of drugs in the entire DC area (that includes the suburbs of MD and VA) avoid hanging out with people that use them as that could lead to your ultimate downfall (but you have the last word on that as nobody is going to force you to use them).
I moved away from DC about 13 years ago and have missed it ever since. My husband died and I was alone so I wanted to move bad to Indiana (where I grew up) for awhile; but, the years just seemed to pass with my parents death, etc. and now I’m afraid that it is too late for me to go back as most of my friends have also moved on and I’m not as young as I once was. However, you are young and if you were my own son I would have given you this very same advice. Good Luck!! Enjoy your life…..love like you’ve never been hurt…experience as much as you ….grow in intelligence, wisdom and spirit.
By the way, I’m a BIG LONG TIME FAN OF JAMES DEAN….HE WAS MY FIRST LOVE AND I LOVE HIM STILL!!! (His picture walking down the street in NYC is my desktop icon)
Howard County is great.
Near Washington D.C.
I lived all around Annapolis 16 years and I loved it. Calvert County was beautiful. I found a lot of shark teeth there.
Montgomery county is great but it is too expensive. If you can afford it it is a nice place. The proximity to Washington DC and all the life that comes with it is nice.
Yes. I love it there. Old Town Annapolis is cool.
Montgomery and Howard counties aren’t in Southern Maryland. Southern Maryland is generally the area west of the Chesapeake and south of the Washington metro area and is primarily rural not suburban.
