[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We’re a 30-something couple. No kids yet. We’re looking to rent a new apartment, but we want to keep our commutes reasonable. One of us works in College Park, and the other in Tysons. Where would be the best places to look? We both currently drive to work but would not be opposed to metroing depending on the length of the commute. We’re looking for somewhere [b]safe, fun, relatively quiet, and in walking distance to shops and restaurants.[/b][/quote] Everyone is focusing on the commute, but this qualifier is also problematic. Fun and quiet don't go together, generally. Like the immediate PP, I think that the Orange Line corridor in Arlington might be a good bet as long as OP is prepared for city living. Something like Courthouse would put the Tyson's spouse on the Silver Line for a quick, easy commute. The College Park spouse could take the car and do the 695/295 combo to get to CP. Obviously crossing the bridge will be a bear in the morning, but it is doable.[/quote]
