New Hampshire Ave. For better or for worse, no such choice exists. Finding a place to live will take some effort on your part, and there are a few things of which you must be aware before you begin your search. Washington, D.C. is an expensive place to live . Washington and its suburbs have a high turnover rate and this gives rise to inflated housing prices.
Bargains are few and far between.
When choosing a place to live it is wise then to consider how accessible it is by foot or by public transportation. About seventy percent of SAIS students live within walking distance of SAIS in areas such as Dupont Circle, Logan Circle, Adams Morgan, Kalorama, and Mount Pleasant. These areas are also served by the SAIS shuttle. Many students, particularly those with families, choose to live outside the District in such areas as Takoma Park, Arlington, Rosslyn, McLean, Falls Church, Chevy Chase and Silver Spring. If you choose to live away from the hustle and bustle of downtown D.C., make sure you can easily get to a Metro stop.
