I’ll be moving to the area in July and would love to find a good-sized one bedroom (larger than 700 sq. ft.) in the $1100-$1400 range (utilities included would be fantastic, naturally). Close to the Metro would be ideal, and preferably in a safe neighborhood with other young professionals nearby (I know, I know–why don’t I just ask for a rich uncle to kick off in the process, right?). Thanks!!
for that price you might need to go a bit further south to f’burg. there is a new neighborhood being built as we speak (by hunter greenlaw – who is FABULOUS). i believe it is called cobblestone square. within walking distance to the train station (about an hour to get to d.c. – time enough to get some work done before work) and a super area to meet people.
this neighborhood is being built in my brother’s back yard and he says it is GORGEOUS! f’burg is a great area with helpful , neighborly, neighbors. you really can’t beat it. it’s close enough to the city to work and enjoy their nightlife and far enough away to feel safe. the beach and mountains are less than an hour away. you can even go strawberry picking 10 minutes (or less) away!
and just think, if you get married (or not) and have kids in the next couple of years you can buy my house that is within 1 mile of where the child would go to school from k-12; within 1 mile of grocery store and shopping; in SAFE (and pretty ) neighborhood , and we have the largest lot in here (about 1/2 wooded so you can’t see the houses in back in the summer).
I LOVE THIS AREA – but i want to be at the BEACH.
This place is great (you might want to check out others managed by Gates Hudson listed on the website): http://www.parkcenterapartment.com/parkcenter/

Check out Merrifield Village. It’s right across the streat of Dunn Lorring/Merrifield metro station on Orange Line. It takes half an hour ride on the metro to get to downtown Washington D.C. 5 mintues to I495. Great location, reasonable rent and large size. It’s located at the boarder of Falls Church and Vienna.
