There are residential areas within a few blocks of Union Station. Plenty of people live just east of the station. But OP was talking about living in Georgetown. From there, the easiest thing to do is the Circulator bus. I'm not sure how long that route takes.

And, while Penn Station is not quite downtown Baltimore, it's not very far and, depending on where one were going, could even be walkable.

I'd expect the biggest issue to be that the train schedules are more geared towards people coming to DC from Maryland, not vice versa.
