Living in Washington
Washington, DC is a walkable capital where 19 free Smithsonian museums, a six-line Metro, and embassy neighborhoods sit beside housing costs far above the national average. Nurses often pick Foggy Bottom or Georgetown for close-in living near major campuses, or Columbia Heights, Petworth, Brookland, and Arlington’s Crystal City, Pentagon City, and Rosslyn for lower rent and a 10-24 minute hop downtown. Adams Morgan’s 18th Street and U Street bring Ethiopian food, go-go, and late nights; Rock Creek Park and Potomac kayaking from Key Bridge are the daily outdoors. About one in three residents ride transit; driving from Ashburn can take 40-55 minutes in brutal traffic. Crime is well above average but concentrated, and seasons swing from cherry-blossom spring to a colorful fall with harsh stretches between. The payoff is a transplant magnet, healthcare employers such as Kaiser Permanente, and dropping into the Mall or Kennedy Center on a weeknight.
