therunner Posted May 8 Report Share Posted May 8 1. how much do you pay (personally and total, if you have a roomate): NOTHING - And I am getting robbed2. how many bedrooms: Not quite one full sized bedroom3. what city do you live in/near. it's a fucking military post- and I am only two stoplights from work. Which really doesn't matter cause there is never any parking and by the time I find a parking spot I could've walked to work quicker. Good point about where I live - pretty secure have to cross an MP check point - bad point about where I live - Pretty secure, have to pass an MP check point. 4. do you like it/feel it's worth it? Fuck no! Military housing sucks, my walls are paper thin, my neighbor's are all assholes, the "landlord" doens't fix shit unless it's a safety hazard. My biggest coomplaint about being in the military is the housing they provide for us. If anyone is ever thinking of joining the military, DON'T, unless you are doing it for a quick four years to pay for your school, don't fucking do it.

andre9000 Posted May 9 Author Report Share Posted May 9 I appreciate the feedback. I work in DC, live right now in Fairfax Station and take the metro from Franconia-Springfield (mall). I'm thinking of moving out right by Fair Oaks mall. For a 2 bedroom/2 bathroom they are 1200 roughly. I can afford it on my own for a few months, but not for a full year - I'll have to get a roomate. I don't really want to live IN the city, but am not sure it that place will be worth it. I have lots of friends in that area, and it's nice out there, those places are extremely new, but the commute will probably be as it is now (1 hr 15 mins) to work each way....I'm still trying to figure it out...

I will pay the same rent, with 2 roomates plus I will save $$, and time on the commute and the use of my car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
