I am visiting the DMV area for a week or two to look at potential neighborhoods to move to. Can anyone recommend neighborhoods for young professionals (late 20s/mid 30s)? Alexandria and Arlington are preferred, although open to suggestions. Also, any recommendations for specific apartments I can look into for leasing would be great. Budget is ~$2000/month for a 1 bedroom.

With that budget, maybe look into shirlington or crystal city. A lot of young people like living in Clarendon/ballston/ old town Alexandria, but it’s going to be at least $2500 for a 1 bedroom.

Will you have a car? With no car, go closer to the metro. With car, Shirlington is a nice choice and your money goes farther. I can say the bus connection to the Pentagon from Shirlington is nice if you need to commute by transit. Clarendon, Ballston, Old Town are all solid choices. Courthouse too.

What area are you going to be working in? That should be a big factor considering the traffic around here, unless you enjoy sitting in your car.

Hi friends,

I'm a new joinee in MSFT.

People in my team they don't come with me for breaks. (They blame the timings are different since they sit in crits but i don't think so because they have their own group of friends to go with)

Secondly, when my team members see me in cafeteria we expect they'll sit with us but people here are being rude they directly go and sit with their friends they don't call you to join. ( atleast they could have said they are accompanied)

People behave unpleasant
