Going to start working in Arlington, VA by the end of summer. I currently live right outside Detroit MI. I need advice as to where to live, I am okay with commuting, I am a single white female in my late 20's, new to the city and will know no one, so I need to be fairly safe. Where I'm living currently rent is average 600.a month for a 1 bed 1 bath, safe neighborhood. I know thats much cheaper than Arlington, but where arouund there is safe and reasonable!? Thanks!

We need your defination of reasonable rent and I hope you have done enough research to know that $600/month is not going to happen. Live as close to work as you can afford - rents in Arlington will be around $1600 if you are walking distance to the metro and $1400 if you are farther away. The least expensive rents for one bedroom apartments in NOVA are around $1000 - if you find something less than that I would question the safety of the place. If you want to go less expensive you will need to find a roommate.
