it varies as some offices, teams, individuals, etc. have chosen to go in person while others work from home. It's been a gradual shift for many. Many small urban apartments (like mine!) can be challenging to be stuck at home for long times so folks want more space.

I've had some neighbors and coworkers flee to the suburbs on the assumption that DC was too crowded. The opposite has turned out to be true as DC streets were pretty empty for most of last year. But now it's pretty sweet as bars/restaurants/etc. are open 100% for those who want it and most everyone I know are vaccinated. But for folks still working from home, there's no commute so more time to enjoy life, exercise, meet people for outdoor meals/drinks, or whatever.
