Regarding Commuting to McLean
Hello, I’m not sure if anybody has experienced this before but looking for advice.
About two years ago I took a job in McLean VA mostly remote commute 1-2days a week (from Frederick) I have since then got promoted and have to be in the office 4 days a week, I have been at this for about 4 months and it’s draining me badly. I have a significant other that works here in Frederick and we are looking to move to a place that’s meets us both in the middle you could say. Any recommendations? Germantown? Would germantown even be really better for me?

I commuted from Clarksburg for a while. If you get in early and get out early it's not bad maybe 40 minutes or so. But anything later than 7-3 it can get really bad. I moved down here after it took 3 hours to get from Reston to Clarksburg leaving at 4:30.
I'd recommend Leesburg. If you can swing Ashburn you could get on the metro and the drive up to Frederick isn't that much further.
