Sounds like a match for DuPont circle

helpfullike

I live in Gtown paying similar amount. I travel every week so no need to metro, easy to walk to DuPont, waterfront... Buildings are older so you might need to add monthly fee for a gym. Lived on U street and Clarendon in the past and Gtown is by far my favorite

Ballston/Clarendon/Courthouse if you like to try the VA area. I live in Ballston, and everything I need is walking distance away, including Urgent Care.

Crystal city, Pentagon city. Look into Crystal House, The Lenox Club, The Park at Arlington Ridge. Commons and WeLive (if you're open to dorm style living). Also look into Columbia Heights.

Check out Navy Yard, lots of new buildings with awesome rooftops/amenities. May be pushing it getting a “true” 1 bedroom for under 2k but some buildings still offering good move in specials! Tons of new restaurants and bars opening and right at green line metro stop (short walk to cap south stop-orange/blue/silver). Harris teeter smack in middle of navy yard and a Whole Foods opening shortly.

Anywhere in Virginia you won’t get that city feel. For that price you’re going to have to go a bit farther from metro. Woodlypark, Adams Morgan, Columbia
Heights. You can find great studios for the price nearly anywhere you want

like

Logan Circle if you can get lucky on finding a place. Check the buildings around 15th and Rhode Island, and N St between 15th and 14th.
Otherwise, I would look at H St. (like the Apollo). You’ll be able to find a place in your budget there and it’s fun
