[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you're comfortable with a condo/apt rental then you could find something closer-in (e.g. Courthouse, Rosslyn etc.), but if you're looking for a TH/SFH then check out the last two stops of the Blue or Orange lines in VA and see if you can get something with shuttle/bus distance from the metro.

Driving in from the further 'burbs into central DC is a nightmare.[/quote]

Check out Courthouse Hill in Courthouse.  Great townhomes right next to the metro which are fairly cheap to rent given the area.  They are brick townhomes.  The public schools are pheomenal and so many great parks, restaurants, shops, etc.  I would also look at rentals in "Lyon PArk' and "Ashton heights".  I think people woudl be surprised what they could get as a rental.  We rented a home in Lyon Village (which is the most expensive in this location) and we got a nice big 2 bedroom, renovated for right at 3k....so you could definitly find somethign in the $2k-2.5k/month range.

Don't write off an area based on these responses.  Some ppl are definitely confusing 'cost to buy' vs 'cost to rent'.  Some of these ppl don't have a mortgage on these expensive homes anymore and look for quality of renter over insane rental $.  [/quote]

Also--- craigslist is one of the best rental resources.  WE own a home in NW that we rent and we use craigslist to find all of our tenants.  FWIW, you can get a w bedroom in Georgetown rental for $3500...and that is the most expensive neighborhood.[/quote]
