[quote=Anonymous]Take the time to really research where you want to and can afford to live. You can get a single family home, but you might have to bus or drive to the metro (or flex your schedule and drive at a time to avoid rush hour). Spend time on Redfin and looking at morning and evening traffic maps and using google maps' transit feature to test addresses in areas you might like. Go to some open houses and get a feel for neighborhoods. This might all take a few months of going places on weekends, thinking about how much space you want, schools. See what you can find at $600,000 vs 650 or 700. You will work your way to an answer. You can get neighborhood suggestions here. Silver Spring, Takoma Park, and parts of Falls Church all come to mind. [/quote]
