I’m moving to the DC area for a new job and wanted to see if anyone had suggestions on where to live in DC (neighborhoods and apartment buildings if possible). I’m thinking Adams Morgan or Logan circle, but open to suggestions. I’m a female in my late 20s, enjoy going out for a few drinks / dinner, working out, hiking etc. Budget is less than $2k per month and I’ll have to commute to Amazon in Crystal City ~3 days per week.

How are you planning to commute? If by Metro, I would NOT do Adams Morgan. If by car, you should really just live in Crystal City. In any case, your money will go further in Virgina. Finding a place under $2,000 is going to be tough inside the District if you want to live by yourself.

Agree with previous post that Adam’s Morgan is not going to be convenient if you commute by metro. I’ve lived in Arlington and DC and definitely prefer DC. That being said, I agree with previous post that your money will go farther in Northern Virginia - but I would suggest Clarendon or Courthouse over Crystal City (I’ve lived in both). You can find places in DC for less than $2000 and live alone, but it may be a studio. If you decide on DC, look in neighborhoods near the blue or yellow lines, or your commute is going to be a nightmare. Feel free to DM me if you want to chat.

If you’re working in Crystal City I would suggest the Clark & The Sur which are both in crystal city. Last month they had really good specials. The Sur doesn’t have a pool though.

You’re welcome. I’m moving up there soon and toured a lot of places. One week the Clark had a 3 month free concession.

With that budget either sell the car and live in DC or live in Arlington. You won’t find housing that offers parking for that price point in DC.

I realized recently that I can turn my “super associate” persona at any time. I had it off during covid when my kids needed me and got a bad review. So now it’s back on. I’m responding to midnight emails (and daytime ones in under 20 minutes) and getting work done the same morning. I’m spending countless hours doing edits over edits. I actually don’t like super associate. Why do people live like this 24/7?!? 🤔
