Parking in wheaton (townhouses, live in, move)

[Michaelsaurus Rex]

I have family that I am visiting in january for the inauguration. Where I am staying is a rowhouse about literally a block from wheaton subway station on the redline. I am getting there on January 15th. What are the rules for parking in the area? Is it every man for himself or can you not park in front of a house that is not yours? She is new, just moved there a week ago, and doesn't know the answer. I need someone where I can park my car from January 15th-22nd if I decide to drive. Is there hope for that? If I see an empty spot 3 houses down and park there for 7 days will I get ticketed or towed?

I will be using the subway/walking the whole time so I need some place to stash my car. She said there is parking by the metro station but I doubt you can leave your car there.

BTW I am from Florida I have no idea what a row house is other then the Cosby's or the rules that govern parking.

It's been several years since I was in that area. They were just beginning to build all the houses near the metro. I think they are calling them "row" houses because the design of them resembles "city" row houses. If you know what townhouses are, their basically the same concept.
Right around the metro station alot of the street parking is metered. If you go over a block or so it is residential but I don't know if you need a residential sticker or how closely they monitor the parking because of the metro.
I would suggest if you can find street parking, just move your car each morning up a spot or two.
If you find out there will be problems with parking, DM me, I still have several friends who live in the area.
