Default Single Family Homes (Rentals) Inside Beltway?

Hello,

We lived in Springfield (22152) the last time around and we're moving back but we'd like to be closer. Since we're not sure how long we'll stick around we don't want to buy. I've been looking at Militarybyowner, realtor.com, craigslist, etc. and I'm starting to get dizzy! A lot of the houses in Alexandria are off of Rt. 1 and I'm not too sure about the commute.

The hubby will be working at the Navy Annex in Arlington and my thinking is since we're not buying why pay a mortage-type rental amount? So we're hoping for $2200-$2400/mo max. To add to the probably impossible we're looking for 4 bedrooms and a 1-car garage.

You can tell me if this just isn't going to work. Oh and I saw a couple of houses in Fairfax that were nice but again not so sure about the commute. He slugged a lot last time but if I remember Braddock wasn't a fun place to be during rush hour.
Any ideas? please! Thanks!

Hello USNAX2,

Based on what you described, there are several dettached house rentals that can work for you. As of today there are 7 active properties, Have you found a place?

I am a realtor and I can show you and your husband to find a place that can take care of your needs.

Default Still looking

I just found a realtor that I'm working with, but thank you. I have increased what we're willing to pay for a 4-bedroom/2-car garage to 2600 and we gave up on trying to live inside the beltway. We're looking to live as close to Immanuel Bible Church (private school and our church when we lived here the last time) and easy metro access without being in a really old, tiny home (allergies and the 4th is on the way).
So if anyone has a house in their neighborhood that you know is for rent that would fit our criteria please PM me? THANKS!!
