Meridian at Courthouse and Meridian at Ballston have no weight limit on dogs. I have a 75lb dog. I have a Google Earth file I made about three years ago that has all the major apartment complexes and their pet policies, if you're a Google Earth person. DM me your e-mail if you want it.

If I could move anywhere in the area, I'd move to Rosslyn. It's convenient and it's a short hop to the whole city. It's on three metro lines that can get you to both nearby airports, and you can literally walk to Georgetown. Ballston feels very, like, manufactured to me. Obviously the area right by the metro station is very built up in Rosslyn, but there are a bunch of great restaurants and things a few blocks up the hill. Rosslyn all the way, honestly. I live in Courthouse and I wish I would've gone to Rosslyn. Ballston feels like living in a mall.
