Hi everyone,
I'm currently in the process of finding a nice place to live around the D.C. area (probably not D.C. itself, unless anyone knows of any good deals). I'm trying to find a 1 bedroom apartment with a desired limit of approximately $1850 or so (including utilities and parking). Here are the places I was considering:
-Arlington / Alexandria / any place west of D.C. near a Metro stop
-Bethesda / Silver Spring Md. or somewhere nearby
Do you have any suggestions on city? Here is what I'm looking for:
-Safe
-Stuff to do (places to go / things to do; i.e. malls, gyms, etc.)
-By a Metro stop
-Maybe: an area geared toward a younger demographic
-Traffic-friendly (RELATIVELY speaking, of course!)
I'm thinking that the places/cities west of D.C. are more safe - do you think this is correct, in general?
I was considering Arlington, Alexandria, and Bethesda in particular. Any pros / cons?
Anyone have any ideas or suggestions? Any thoughts are appreciated!
