How about within an hour and 1/2 one way? Does that help?
Yes. It's doable outside the Beltway.

You could *maybe* find an English basement on Capitol Hill for that price, but you won't see 2 or 3 bedrooms or a backyard.

What do you think? Impossible?
I actually think this might be impossible, unless you want to go farther out (really far). $1500 gets you a one-bedroom on the Hill and not much bigger for miles and miles. Is there any wiggle-room on the budget?
You are going to need to be way out for that.

Whoops - misread the 8 mile remark. Still highly unlikely though!

Burke or Fairfax -- Burke may be more like 9.5 miles from Vienna metro though
