In terms of where to live, it all depends on what you need and what type of budget you're looking at. Also where you're going to be working is important. I personally like Northern Virginia the most. I got a place in Old Town Alexandria that's a block away from the metro and close to countless restaurants and shops. If you need some more space, check out the further out suburbs in Virginia or Maryland. They're all good areas, it just depends on what you want to spend and how close you want to be to DC. Whatever you do, though, don't live in SE DC. If you plan on living in the city, try to stay in the NW (which is actually the majority of the city).

Thanks for the replies all.
After doing a lot more due diligence we are also going to move to Old Town as well. We will rent at first and make a decision on buying after getting to know things a bit better. Our options have been pretty limited house wise as we have a large dog (who the good folks here at CP helped me name).
Are you commuting into the district from Old Town?
I'm a born and bred Calgarian so the pace should be good. London is tiring.
Let me know if you're up for a beer sometime. Or even better the Oilers / Caps game later on Feb
