Lived there for years and moved 7 blocks away for better prices.

A few comments:

• For people without cars who are walking or biking to other parts of D.C., who work downtown, the location can't be beat. Penn Quarter or Logan would have been our second most convenient choices, but at the time they were more expensive, and Penn Quarter has no grocery store. You aren't isolated on the East side of town or the West Side, you can walk to Adams Morgan or Eastern Market, etc.
• MVT businesses are great, but unfortunately the nearby downtown businesses have been declining over the last 5 years heavily. We had a Barnes and Noble and Bed Bath and Beyond, boutique shops on F and E St's, and A LOT more bars and fast casual style restaurants in say 2015-2018.
• MVT is full of transient people compared to most other neighborhoods because it's so close to downtown, which can be good or bad. We met SO many good people there, but relatively there are a lot of subsidized young people and transient people who love to complain and can't wait to get back to their family elsewhere. Contrast that with say Columbia Heights or H St, and you can feel the difference in demographcis.
• The Safeway is average and you are far from other options if you walk. I really prefer the Whole Foods and Trader Joes combo I have now.
• On K St in MVT, the Metro isn't that close. It's ONLY a 5-10 minute walk sure, but I live a block/stone's throw from the metro now so it's all relative.
