I like Dorchester due to cheap rent and convenient to bus stop to take me to metro. Any advice?

There is also Buchanan Apts near Crystal City metro. Anyone lived there before? Thanks again for all the help so far.
I lived right across the street from Dorchester Tower and 2121. As long as it is the TOWER, Dorchester is a solid complex. Not to be confused with Dorchester APARTMENTS. I'd say the same for 2121. Whatever you do don't move into Dominion Towers, total roach motel.

Thanks a lot. Does anyone have any recommendation on these apartments?

Also, how do I find out property taxes on my cars and DMV fees etc? Are there other additional fees?

All these places are within your budget and have good reviews online:
Columbia Crossing Apartments in Arlington - 1957 Columbia Pike (slightly over at $2160)
Siena Park New Luxury Apartment in Arlington, Virginia | Floor Plans: 2.35 Floor Plan: 2 Bed / 2 Bath
Westmont Gardens Apartments

Columbia Pike is a 30 minute bus ride from Rosslyn: http://www.arlingtontransit.com/pages/routes/art-45/.

Go to the DMV and the county treasurers office to find out. The Arlington County Treasurer is in the Courthouse neighborhood of Arlington (Courthouse Metro).

I have a friend that lives in Wellington. She has been there for about a year and has been happy. You probably already looked into it, but I believe the Wellington runs a shuttle to the Pentagon City metro, so you could take the shuttle and then hop on the metro and go a few stops to Rosslyn. Hope that helps!
