I probably wouldn't live in Ballston because you'll have to transfer lines to go to work. I would stick to somewhere on the blue or yellow line. Driving here sucks especially for commuting. Have a single line no transfers commute is the best.

Honestly it might even be worth just living down by Crystal City too and that whole south Arlington / National Landing area.

I don't have experience with either of those places really.

Good to know about the difficulty of driving for commuting. I'll take a look around Crystal City as well!

Love crystal city, only problem is all the amazon construction now but once it’s done mid next year it’ll be gorgeous. and probably more expensive too 😭. But I highly recommend the area for sure. Lived there for almost 4 years.

Driving is bad, but where you are considering living and commuting, not that bad. On a bad day it might take you 30-45 minutes. And somewhere else you mentioned you’ll be commuting twice a week? I wouldn’t let the commute be a major factor to be part of your decision considering any of the suggested alternatives. They will all be within reasonable commutes for the region.
