Dear PoPville – How is the Neighborhood around Rhode Island Ave Metro?


View Larger Map

“Dear PoPville,

I’ve been looking at rentals near the Rhode Island Avenue metro stop to move around August and was wondering if anyone in PoPville had any insight in the neighborhood. I’m a gay white man and don’t want to be the target of any wrong-doers.

I’ve been there a couple of times and I know it’s a bit “rough around the edges” but it seems not really different than other neighborhoods like Truxton, Bloomingdale, or parts of Shaw. The biggest factor for me looking there is the price – less than $2000/month for a 3 bedroom renovated house less than 2 blocks to Metro is very appealing, whereas a similar house in NW might be upwards of $3000/month. There’s also a lot of budget-minded retail nearby and two grocery stores. I’ll also be moving in with my female roommate, so her safety is also a big concern of mine.”

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.

You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.

It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
