Hi all I am thinking of relocating to the DMV area. Any recommendations for areas to live in that is walkable, have a close proximity to to public transit and accessible to restaurants

I’m a bit older so don’t necessarily care for the night life, just good food and easy access.

Ideally looking for a house or townhome. I’m done with apartments

Mosaic area has some town houses but they are not going to go for under $900k if you’re looking to buy. Otherwise it’s somewhat decent for those criteria

There aren’t many areas in the close-in suburbs that can offer a walkable lifestyle in a SFH or TH, near good restaurants and decent prices. You might find a fixer-upper in Arlington, VA or Bethesda, MD for under $1M, but those get snapped up quickly, usually over asking price or for cash by developers doing tear-downs. If you’re willing to give up the walkability or the SFH/TH criteria and consider a condo, you’ll have more options.

Monday Morning rumination: unsolicited advise is criticism.

Much to reflect on with this topic. Last week I was told in a 1:1 with a new contact that I was “too direct”. After some time chewing on the conversation I was struggling to place the emotions I was feeling. Turns out I was feeling guilty and shame for being me, for taking up space. Lesson of the week: unsolicited advice is a criticism of you, a micro aggression of who you are, and being “too much”. What would you do??
