[quote=Anonymous]Put your parameters in Redin without any location restriction other than the DC metro area.

So, $475 to $550, x BR, x BA, uncheck condos and townhouses.

Then start looking where houses are clustered to find options.  For instance, Arlington's probably out, as is NW DC, but there will be a lot around Silver Spring, WFC, Springfield, Vienna, Herndon....I know NOVA better than MD, but there's probably more in further out MD too.  Brightwood, Brookland, and Hyattsville will pop up with some listings too.

See where these areas are relative to your commutes.  Click a few houses to see what styles are there and see what schools are listed (the great schools score is right on the redfin page).  Play around with google maps satellite and street view.

The combination of commutes and schools will probably narrow you down pretty quickly, so you can spend a couple weekend afternoons driving around and checking out a couple parks plus the area in general, and go from there with googling very specific neighborhoods within bigger areas.[/quote]
