Noma is pretty big and it depends on which part you’d be at, some areas are great, and some are not. I’d like the wharf if I could afford it lol and I mean more than just rent, there’s no cheap eats nearby. Gallery Place is next to the stadium, has street performers, etc. it’s loud. Unless you’re a Caps season ticket holder, idk if there’s much of a reason to be there rather than another neighborhood nearby. None of these areas are gonna qualify for RPP (well, parts of Noma might but not in a new building) so if you bring a car, it will cost you hundreds of dollars to park and is honestly more of a hassle than really being useful unless you exit the city every weekend or something.
