My sister had a nice place in Greenbelt, Maryland. Clean, low crime,
not too expensive, with an easy commute to the city on the Metro.
Also, my cousin recently bought a nice place in Woodbridge, VA, with
the same attributes.
Good luck with the new job.

DC is the ONE housing marking in the US that was not materially impacted
by the housing downturn. Houses in Georgetown, the swank Northwestern
part of the District near Georgetown University, have actually increased
in value somewhat. You will probably find the most affordable, good

Hi Jason,
As people have mentioned, there are many areas in and around Washington DC.
Like many urban metro areas, there are distinct characters to different
neighborhoods and it would be really hard to give you a comprehensive list
of those here. I'll recommend a site I've found to be pretty u
So if I understand: you want to commute into downtown via Metro, plan to
buy (otherwise you wouldn't care about property taxes), and want a place
with a yard and low crime. I'm not sure what you consider a good
price, but my immediate gut is to say you should look at neighborhoods

Jason,
Here's my take.. it's very dependant on the following:
Your salary coming in, what your looking for house-wise, and what you
consider a long commute.
There are commuter options even in the way outer suburbs...

Jason,
I commuted from up in White Marsh , Md via MARC train for 3 years and
know lots of people who do. Its not the best but as Scott says further

So in my case it was 15 min. to train station and then 1 -1.5 to DC

In my previous job, I commuted from Manassas, Virginia to L'Enfant
Plaza in DC. Using a combination of driving to the Vienna Orange Line
metro stop, and the DC metro, the commute would take about 2 hours one
way. Commuting to L'Enfant Plaza from Manassas using the Virginia Rail
Express took about
was a nightmare.
I am looking to buy but not cool to the idea of renting, but this really gives
me an idea of where to begin my search.

If they would legalize lane splitting in DC/Virginia and surrounding
areas, it would open up a whole new way to commute (motorcycle). It
works really, RE
HOV regulations in Virginia allow motorcycles to use the HOV lanes and
I-66 inside the beltway during rush hour.

Yeah that's a federal law, in fact. But being able to split lanes saves
a TON of time when traffic inevitably slows down... likewise
I may be confused. What do you mean by split lanes?

Being able to ride between the lanes of cars. It's common practice in
California and has been for decades.
The rule of thumb is this... at speeds below 35 mph (such as on a

No offense but everybody says this about just about everywhere. We all

There would also be a rather large contingency of riders that will be more

deterrent enough...

Omniride is OK but we've timed it and taking OmniRide to Vienna, then

That is of course if they allow for any transportation funding at all.
Given the current state government's hostility to this area, and the

No offense (seriously), but here's my take on why people hate it. It's
