Outside chance that Mr. Checks might be finding his way from flyover country to DC in the not-too-distant future.
I'm trying to get some advice about where I could find housing, in light of the following factors, in order to maximize the benefit of an upcoming housing tour. Appreciate your advice.
Price range $350,000 to $450,000 ($500,000 is absolute max)
School system not an issue
Less than one hour (would prefer much less) commute to Capitol Hill (being on Metro route a huge plus). DC/MD/VA all possible.
Condo/townhouse/rowhouse/standalone all okay
2bd, at least 1.5 bath (prefer 2 baths) and at least 1000 sq ft
Needs to be fairly safe, not looking to be the first in a transitional area
Some areas that others have recommended are Arlington, Alexandria. Georgetown would be great, but appears to be out of my price range.
Access to restaurants, theater scene, university life would be plusses.
