Looking for Rent in / Near DC Metro Area
Hey everyone. My little sister will be working in Washington DC over the summer and is looking for relatively cheap housing in a safer area. Is anyone familiar with the area / could maybe help her out?
What part of DC is she going to be working in? What's your budget? A "safe" area in DC will run you $2000+ for a 1 bedroom apartment (fort totten for example)- prime location like the waterfront, navy yard, U street etc- forget about it- $2000 for a studio- 1 bedroom $2500+- some may push closer to $3000 a month
15-20 minutes away in Greenbelt will run $1500 or so for a 1 bedroom apartment
Silver Spring- Wheaton- College Park are all close by and run the same- $1500-$2000 a month
On the Virginia side she could commute in from Arlington/Fairlington on 395, about 5-10 minutes to DC with no traffic. One bedrooms in there rent for as cheap $1500.
Is she open to having roommates?
Yes, she is open to having roommates. @Jason she does not have a vehicle. The metro stops in Arlington / Fairlington, correct?
