I can say Arlington is nice, convenient and affordable but it's bro-city and if you're from NY (like me!) it's visibly noticeable. Would prefer to live somewhere with a bit more flavor, but I need to be close to work because long commutes are triggering to me 😂😂

Sorry sis 🙈 but then Arlington/ DC will be right up your alley. That's the price of a one bedroom (14-1600) also consider Alexandria. Hella Latinos ✊🏽✊🏾 and like 300 less + better parking options (I'm also apartment hunting lol) less metro access though

D.C. And NoVa are vastly different from Baltimore lol are you in dc area or Baltimore area?

But I'd recommend dc cause it actually has a young black professional scene. There's lots of good places just depends what your budget is 🙃

I'm thinking like a $1200-$1400price range is that unreasonable ?

Yea northern va haha

Hmm that'll get you a studio in dc/va a one bedroom in md

Arlington affordable!?

She😩

But yeah I think max im looking to spend is $1600

Haha thank you !

Thinking of moving around August 2018 right before I start as a senior
