[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As much as Arlington is overrated[b] if you want to bike/metro to dc that is your only option in va. [/b] Biking into the city regularly you want to be courthouse, rosslyn or crystal city area.  Metro to dc anything out to ballston and it is a few mile bike ride into dc that may not be a daily commute option for biking.

For 1.8m it may be tight in n Arlington.  Nicer homes close to metro are 2m and up.  Maybe in Arlington forest or bluemont you could get something decent for 1.8; but that is a solid 15 -20 minute walk to metro/ballston.

Maryland may be a better option if you do not care about in state colleges.[/quote]

+1 We're in Ashton Heights/Lyon Park neighborhood and I know a number of people who regularly bike to jobs in DC. My husband used to bike when he worked in Georgetown.  have a short walk to the VA Square metro. Updated homes are generally $2M+ but sometimes you can find something lower, e.g.

I just checked out what's available in Lyon Park on redfin and saw some of the ugliest houses I've seen in a while.[/quote]
