This whole "graduation" thing is keeping me busy.
Joey & I are graduating and looking to get a place up in the Northern VA area. We'll both likely be working in Dulles, so we don't really want a massive commute from the DC area. Figured there are enough of you from the area who may have apartment experience and could mention where to look, where to avoid, etc.
Looking for a 2 bedroom, 2 bath apartment that's not a shithole. Would be preferably close to a Metro station (walking distance awesome, driving is OK too). Not trying to spend millions of dollars that we don't have, but we'll spend a few bucks extra to get a nicer place.
Ideas? I've been looking on apartments.com in the Fairfax/Fair Lakes areas. Seems like there is a reasonable amount of things to do nearby (restaurants, FO Mall, near major highways) and you can get to the Vienna metro station in a decent time frame.
