That's a few blocks from a Metro stop, but really a terrible place for any kind of real foot traffic. That's near a high-traffic intersection [1] that can be difficult to navigate by car and very slow to navigate by foot.
It's also near a lot of new construction (like most of DC) geared mostly towards young, rich professionals (like most of new DC).
[1] The intersection was changed a few years ago from insanely dangerous to safe but very indirect when trying to make certain transitions.
