OMG!!
Do you not read the entire post by OP before responding???

OP went back and edited with the reason after this and other questions about getting a job in MD. You are the one who didn’t read all the responses.

You can look in Bon air and bluemont in Arlington for an older sfh rental. Lots of military rent in that area.

One dog is fine in most apartments- 2 limits you and the size is another factor- many have weight limits.

Not on that budget

The roads are just busy here. If you are traveling within the beltway around rush hour, there is just going to be traffic. If someone can leave between 7 or 7:30, that can help a lot.

There are also some brand new townhomes for sale across from a park near the Clarendon metro.

The commute to Bethesda with a transfer at Metro Center (or Farragut North) shouldn’t be too bad. The drive to Kenmore would be a piece of cake.
