I just wrote this email in response to a request from a client who is referring my services to a friend. I wrote:
If you have a friend who is looking for easy metro access, a
3 bedroom home and only wants to spend about $300k to $350k it will be tough. But here are my best
suggestions:

Many homes at Amberleigh are within walking distance of the
Springfield Franconia Metro. Kingstowne and Manchester Lakes might work too.
The
Huntington Metro is also an option at with homes at Bucknell Manor and the Fort
Hunt area. This is a traditional 1950’s neighborhood with lots of trees and
good schools. Huntington Metro has 4500
parking spaces, so it’s a great metro to live close to because you can park and
ride.

I also like parts of Franconia near Van Dorn but there is no
parking at the Van Dorn Metro. Springfield and Burke are quite suburban but
there is parking at the Franconia Springfield Metro.
I doubt you can find anything in Alexandria or Arlington
that comes close to fitting in your budget. It’s possible to find home not far
from the Vienna Metro. If you head
further out towards Centreville and Oakton you can might find a home that suits
you and you can drive to park at the Vienna Metro.

Lastly, I’ve built a page that focuses on homes that are
near the metro. You might want to look this over.
