Has anyone been stationed in or around the DC area, and can recommend a nice area to live in?

Belvoir has great housing. I have a few friends that chose to go to Laurel and Bowie in Maryland. I also hear West Springfield is decent too.

I have heard great things about the housing at Ft Belvoir. When I was at The Pentagon I lived up in the Bowie/Laurel MD area. Not in the "city" but close enough to get anywhere either DC or Baltimore.

I am stationed on Quantico, and make weekly trips to DC, it's a great area and you will get way more house for your buck if you come south of dale city.
