Cheap, easy metro access, but far away from school
I've been here all 3 years of law school. Had my own reasons for needing to cut down as much as possible on costs. It's been a phenomenal value, but definitely cut off from the social side of DC and school, and a ~50 minute door to door commute via the metro.

About Old Town
If you want to be away from the fast and loud city life, Old Town is the place to be. Filled with cobblestone streets, colonial homes, churches and museums, Old Town is a quiet and charming neighborhood on the banks of the Potomac River in Alexandria.

Friendly people. Pretty quiet and safe area. A plethora of restaurants, bars, and shops within walking distance.
I love the neighborhood. Although Old Town is in the suburbs, it feels like like a mini city, and almost everywhere I want to go is within walking distance. There are great restaurants and bars a few blocks, we're close to the river, there are multiple parks nearby. There is a Whole Foods a block away from my building, and it takes me less than 10 minutes to walk to the King Street Metro station. I also have a dog, and there are so many dog parks and dog-friendly businesses in the area.
Pros:
- Safe, nearby grocery store, pet friendly, pool, close to restaurants, diverse in income types and styles of homes, etc.
Cons: Section 8 housing, a lot of people for a tiny pool.

Cons: Section 8 housing, a lot of people for a tiny pool.
Lots of new development populated by yuppies and hip new businesses/restaurants, mixed in with pockets of section-8 housing and shady groups of people walking the streets.
There are a lot of great bars and restaurants within walking distance. Several grocery store options as well. The apartment is close to the metro/other transit.
The neighborhood has something for everyone. Bordering trendy Kalorama/Dupont and more rustic AdMo. Building is next to an elementary school and small park.
Old Town is a great place to live if you don't want to live in downtown DC. There are always tons of things to do as well as great bars and restaurants.
Old Town is great. King Street is tons of fun and there are always interesting things to do and see.
