While community listings near NIST are still building
Washington’s research destinations are spread across three jurisdictions with different rules and very different commutes, so the useful question is which campus you are actually assigned to and how you will get there — not simply “where in DC”. The NIST hub page compares 9 routes that already exist — institution listing services, academic networks, flexible commercial rentals, the open rental market and community listings — with what each one’s own pages say about eligibility, stay length and paperwork, and lets you narrow them to your appointment dates.
