Thanks for the advice! I’ll have a car so i’m not too worried about proximity to grocery stores, bars and such. Although I do not know 100% how bad the traffic gets there. Arlington does sound like the vibe i am looking for. I’ve heard a lot of college graduates end up moving there for work so that would be nice. The one thing I am looking for is proximity to the metro. I think I should be taking public transportation to work rather than driving because I have heard that there’s a lot of traffic. So living a block or two from the metro would be nice.

Thanks for the advice! Yes I am new to the area. I’ll be working at the Capital One HQ in McLean. It looks like it’s ~10 min drive from Tysons Corner and a 15-20 min drive from Arlington. I’ve never been to the area so I could be wrong. I have a couple friends that live in DC so thats why I want atleast some proximity to DC but it’s not a necessity. To me it just looked like Arlington would be a good middle place to live at. Plus i’ll also be working hybrid and i’ll be commuting maybe at most 2 times per week to work.
