Reply to comment by Acuff007 in Arlington VA Apartment Recommendations? by abhamid98

Thanks for the advice! I’ll have a car so i’m not too worried about proximity to grocery stores, bars and such. Although I do not know 100% how bad the traffic gets there. Arlington does sound like the vibe i am looking for. I’ve heard a lot of college graduates end up moving there for work so that would be nice. The one thing I am looking for is proximity to the metro. I think I should be taking public transportation to work rather than driving because I have heard that there’s a lot of traffic. So living a block or two from the metro would be nice.

If your only requirements are the proximity to the metro and price, then that’s easy. Fan favorites are Clarendon/Court House, Ballston, Crystal City/Pentagon City, and Virginia Square. Depending on what you’re looking for an apartment, you can expect to spend anywhere $1400-$2500 (big gap, I know). Each neighborhood has its pros and cons which can be easily found searching prior posts too.

That’s really helpful. Thank you so much. I’m leaning towards Ballston right now. Hopefully I can get something for like ~1800 haha. Have you heard anything about about The Rixey apartments? Thanks again.

I’ve heard of the apartments but I haven’t heard any real feedback on them.
