I've been searching for a new place for the last month or so without much luck. Hoping to find a place to move into by the last weekend of this month, Sat the 29th or Sun the 30th.

I work in film but also have a steady job as a pharmacy tech in the Merrifield area of Fairfax. I'm hoping to stay in the area or around there, as a short commute is a huge plus for me.

I've lived with young and old, men and women, couples and singles, straight and queer, cats and dogs, and ethnicities from around the world in the past with no issues. Prefer a clean and quiet household. I usually keep to myself, don't take up much space, and it's extremely rare that I have guests over.

A little about me: 35 y/o male raised in Va beach, went to film school in Florida, lived in New Orleans for most of my 20s working in film, now I've been in Nova for the last 5 years where most of my immediate family lives. Still working in film, but work is a bit sparse up here, moved here primarily to work a bit closer with a college friend who produces my scripts.

I'm a bit of an introverted nerd who likes all kinds of games, movies, tv, etc. and occasionally go out to concerts. I like to spend my weekends going out to read and write at coffee shops, play board games with friends, have a leisurely stroll in a park, or watch movies.

I appreciate any responses and am open to any questions!

Beautiful bright corner unit with ample natural light throughout. Located near Van Dorn Metro with easy access to Reagan Airport and DC. Building amenities include pool, community center, gym, yoga room, and work stations. Perfect for professionals.

One of us is relocating due to job and hence the change.

Hi everyone! I’m looking for a place to rent in Northern Virginia, preferably around Alexandria, Falls Church, Arlington, Annandale, or nearby areas.
My budget is up to $1,300/month, ideally including most utilities.
My preferences, in order:
• Studio apartment — ideally under $1,300
• Private bedroom + private bathroom in a shared home, with only a few roommates
• Basement apartment/unit with its own private bathroom, ideally with some kitchen/kitchenette access
I’m completely fine with having roommates, but I’m looking for a setup where I have privacy and reasonable independence. I’m not looking for a situation where a live-in landlord has strict rules about cooking, guests, schedules, etc.
I’m clean, respectful, quiet, and responsible, and I’m looking for a stable place to stay.
If you know of anything available or have recommendations for buildings/areas that are affordable, please comment or DM me with the details!
