My husband and I will be moving somewhere in VA (this is where I will need your help) in August. I have been looking at Alexandria, Arlington and Springfield. I feel like I am all over the place because of how big the areas are.

I am in the military and will be working in Surgeon's General office in Falls Church, but I am not getting the warm and fuzzy about living in Falls Church. I am moving from a 3 bedroom house, 1822 sq ft from Columbus, GA which I love because of the small community and you can't get lost.

LOOKING FOR: I do not mind a commute, but do not want to deal with a transfer. I would like to rent a house or luxury apartment that has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. I want to be in the suburbs where I can drive to the movies/dinner or get on the metro if I want to go into the city. I could care less about clubbin', I just want an area where I can eat different cuisine, enjoy my husband's company and just hang out with friends (grown up activities). My price range is between $2,000-$2,400. I would like all the furniture I had in my house to fit in my apartment/condo or house. I want all stainless steel appliances with granite counter tops.

Hope this is enough information.

You are going to have to look hard to a 3/2 with stainless/granite in that price range. I used the map search feature on Long and Fosters and found a few that you may want to consider but most I found in the area you were looking did not have stainless/granite in the kitchen.

I am a southern girl and I really didn't find any interest in living in the city either. I work in Fairfax but live in Gainesville (well, currently building a house there as I live in Aldie, VA) and I love it out there. It is peaceful and beautiful and I would highly recommend leaving further out to get away from it all versus leave in the city.
