Im pretty sure doing stuff is overrated. You spend most of your time at your house, in your house. Seems like you'd want to be there. I did some comparos a while back to see what 600k buys you in arlington and purcellville area. It's basically the difference between a probably not remodeled 50s colonial with like 6 converted bedrooms and one bathroom, and a new 4+BR 3+bath, modern layout home on 3 acres.
I am sure there is a lot of stuff in between those two locations especially in that price range, but I guess my point was I dont think I'd settle on a place that wasnt perfect and might have a bad roommate situation to have a place i dreaded going to every day. Going a bit further out might make you hate that extra 10 minutes on your commute, but you might be a lot happier when you got there.
