I'm looking into Silver Spring as my next place to live as I (like pretty much everyone else) can't afford DC.
Is it possible to find a 2 br under $1400 walkable to the Silver Spring metro? I don't need something with valets, concierge, or a brand new complex. Any suggestions?
Also, I feel that this area is generally slightly cheaper than say, Alexandria. Do you think this is true?

It depends on what you consider walkable. You should be able to find something in your price range within 1/2 mile.

1/2 mile I can handle. I'm only 20 and don't have the budget to be pickier haha.

You'd probably be looking at a 10+ minute walk in one of the older complexes.

Works for me. Have the older complexes been pretty well maintained? ie not falling apart? I don't need/can't afford all the unnecessary things that come with "luxury" apartments...just need someplace clean, secure, and w/out management that will fleece you. Any places you recommend and conversely, should stay away from?
