this is the address from the website, and from this map it looks literally down the street from Court House metro and only several blocks away from Clarendon. What is your point of comparison? I am not trying to argue I just want to clarify--I am moving to Arlington in a month or two and I would LOVE to take part in the WALKABLE nightlife of Clarendon without paying $2000 a month to do so, and I was under the impression this place would allow me to do it. Where are you guys talking about walking from? Any info would be appreciated!!

I've rented in both Bedford Park (just north of Myerton on the other side of 50) and in a building straight south of Myerton on Columbia Pike. I'd say that it is around a 20 minute walk from Clarendon. Straight down Wash. Blvd. and not through any sketchy areas.
I think when people talk about "walkable", they are thinking of going to work. You probably wouldn't want that walk every day to the Metro line, but I know of at least one bus (24P) that runs the route and I think there is at least one more. As far as nightlife goes, it depends on a few things: the weather, your state of dress, time consideration. If you are going drinking at Whitlow's on a summer night and you have comfortable shoes on, sure, it isn't much of a problem to walk home. If it is winter and you are going to a date at Liberty Tavern and are dressed up, then I'd suggest a cab or the bus.
