Getting a bit desperate. Moving to DC - next week! I thought I had this figured out until about MN tonight. Here's the deal, my oldest daughter (25 yrs) is a flight attendent at Dulles, I'll be working at Bolling AFB. Would like an apartment convienent to both of us. Was recommended Arlington and Alexandria...great! However, looking through the apartment reviews tonight, I'm seeing a lot of comments about gang activity in those areas. With a "reasonable" commute for both, where is a good area to live, not overly expensive (I still own a home in SAT that my wife is staying behind to sell...in the next 6-8 months). My #1 concern is the safety of my daughter. Sigh....any recommendations from the locals??? I'd be eternally grateful to get some solid intel.
thanks
