Hi Everyone! I am planing to rent 1 br apartment on SW located between Waterfront - SEU and L'enfant plaza metro. I am a sinlge woman in 20s. I will be working late till 10 pm also leaving early like 6:30 am. I take metro. I have been to the area on day time. I found it safe but quiet. I am concerned about the safety during nights. Currently I live in Silver Spring. The latest I walked home was at 1:00 am without any incident. I live right next to the metro. Please give me your inputs regarding the safety at odd hours....
I live in the area (also a single 20-something woman) and haven't had any issues with safety. It'll likely be very quiet on your walk to/from the Metro at those hours (more so at night, I used to go to the gym at 6am and always passed several people on the street), but not unsafe.
Like juniper said it's going to be empty and quiet, but it should be perfectly safe. It's just quiet at night because it's more of a business area than residential.
Location: Standing outside of heaven, wating for God to come and get me.

Yeah, the streets can be so sparse at night that it is creepy. I disagree with poster above though. It is a heavily residential area. Just the lack of night life, gas stations, restaurants,etc... in the area leave the streets empty at night.

It's residential further south around the Waterfront Metro, but north of it around L'enfant it's really not at all.
