well i would recommend Arlington, its nice there. apartments are not cheap in the dc area. You'd be lucky if you get a small one bedroom for around $800

Jen is a little off there. As you probably know, Arlington is nowhere near Dulles and your job requires you to be at the airport pretty quickly and living in Arlington is not going to make it for you. There is no train from DC to Dulles Airport; only bus or taxi. Probably your best bets are to live in Dulles Greene Apartments or Archstone Dulles. They may be rather pricey compared to what you may be used to, but both are very nice. There are other places close by as well in Herndon, Sterling or Ashburn, but those two are the best. You can be at Dulles from Dulles Greene in less than 15 minutes...with traffic. http://www.dullesgreene.com/home.html http://www.archstoneapartments.com/Apartments/Virginia/Reston-Herndon/Archstone_Dulles/

Are you sure you will ONLY be flying in and out of Dulles? Make sure...as each airport is some distance from each other. Your best bet is to hook-up with some other flight attendants. They generally rent apartments in different cities where they may have layovers. It's not the best living condition, but it sure beats paying $1,500 a month for an apartment that you maybe only get to sleep in 4 days a week. Better to share an apartment or a townhouse with other like-minded people and pay only $400 a month. I used to live in Sterling, Virgnia. Lots of flight attendants rented homes and townhomes in that area. Sterling is generally cheaper than Reston or Herndon...and relatively close to Dulles Airport.
