Looking for Rent in / Near DC Metro Area

[Account Closed]

Hey everyone. My little sister will be working in Washington DC over the summer and is looking for relatively cheap housing in a safer area. Is anyone familiar with the area / could maybe help her out?

What part of DC is she going to be working in? What's your budget? A "safe" area in DC will run you $2000+ for a 1 bedroom apartment (fort totten for example)- prime location like the waterfront, navy yard, U street etc- forget about it- $2000 for a studio- 1 bedroom $2500+- some may push closer to $3000 a month

 15-20 minutes away in Greenbelt will run $1500 or so for a 1 bedroom apartment

Silver Spring- Wheaton- College Park are all close by and run the same- $1500-$2000 a month
