Can someone tell me what this commute would be like?
I'm relocating from Atlanta to NOVA. My new job is in Tyson's Corner so I'm looking for a clean, roach free apartment or condo to live in.

Thanks!

There are at least four ways to do this....

I-66 to I-495 to Tysons.
50 to Jermantown Road to 123
Ox Roat to Reston Parkway to the Toll Road
Faifax County Parkway to the Toll Road

Job is in Tyson's. Check.

Looking for clean, roach-free apt or condo. Check.

Where does the Government Center Pkwy come into play?

Found this apartment complex Corner 4209
It's brand new & the studio is affordable for my budget.
I'm opened to other options but I'd die if I have to deal with those little roaches or the huge southern cockroaches.

Thanks for your help!
This forum is awesome!

Depending on where you are heading to at Tysons -- I would follow ViennaSausages suggestion of 50 to 66 to 495. Then you can take 7 or 123 depending on where you are going in the Tysons area.

Why would you live in FC government center area and pay 1600 for a studio? So many better options for the same price in Tysons, hell you can have a studio in Rosslyn for that cost, or a 1br on Route 29 north of Courthouse, or a 2br in Tysons. I would suggest you change your living situation. Barring that, yea the traffic is not fun on 66 and you really have no other choice, afternoon is worse than morning.

Do you have any suggestions? I was looking at Post Tyson's Woods but the reviews were not too great. I'm open to other options, but everything I find is either too expensive or someone complained of having bugs. I have also have a dog, so that also adds on to the cost of rent. My goal is to stay under $1700 a month.
