Long in short, I have the opportunity to buy a 940 sqft 2br 2ba condo in Alexandria, VA, which has a shuttle that runs every 30 minutes to the Pentagon City Metro, allowing for easy transit access.

We fly in and need walkability to the sites, a shuttle from the airport, a pool and breakfast.   

We have framed photos of the early launches and the Space Shuttle, even though we are near the beach. 

I'm assuming it is like this:I don't think using a jeep as a shuttle up a driveway will ever justify the cost. 

The area got crushed at the end of the Shuttle program, a decade ago homes could be picked up for close to nothing.

My wife also works at Penn and she walks, takes the shuttle out of Pennovation or the 49 bus.

Other options include: keeping it as an emergency route but closed to the public; building only a road for visitor shuttles and bicycles; constructing an elevated viaduct adjacent to the existing highway; or building just a single travel lane for vehicles, meaning cars would have to pull over for oncoming traffic to pass.If restored for public access, residents of high desert communities such as Victorville — even Lancaster and Palmdale — could enjoy the mountains and then have dinner in Azusa, Duarte or Glendora, Castro said.Moreover, San Gabriel Valley residents could cut their drive time to Wrightwood in half.

If you don't need the PATH and restaurants within walking distance, you can deal with a ferry to lower Manhattan (in community) or a 10min shuttle to the PATH, you plan on starting a family, you really want to live on the water and actually maybe get on the water for boating/kayaking/paddle boarding, then I would recommend Port Liberte.

The backside of the mountain is quiet with beautiful views and just a quick drive or shuttle to the village. 

And there are express bus lines that shuttle commuters into midtown on nice comfy charter buses for $6/ride.Crime is petty.
