Potential Move from Detroit to McLean area - questions

Posted 12-03-2008 at 09:08 PM by aleaston


Hi there everyone. I currently live in Detroit and recently interviewed with a very large corporation in McLean VA. I am a 35 year old professional female. I am wondering about housing/apartment prices in McLean and surrounding areas as well as neighborhoods. It doesn't have to be too fancy but of course I would like something decent. I am also wondering about the transporation system there. Being from Detroit, the automotive capital, there is no public transport (besides buses which I will not take). It is essential to have a car here. I hate driving, I hate being stuck in traffic and wonder if there is a good transportation system if I don't have a car there. Also, is $70 to $80 K a salary one can comfortably live on there? With this salary in Detroit, one can live comfortable but I have a feeling it won't go far in the McLean area. Your comments are greatly appreciated! Thanks!
