Your office will be extremely close to the Orange and Blue lines, and an easy walk to the Red line. This gives you the flexibility of living in lots of places in DC, MD, and VA and still having a manageable commute. I live in DC, close to Rock Creek Park, and really like the biking access I have (though none of it involves bike lanes). If all you want is to be w/in an hour of work, you should have no trouble finding something decent for less than $1800/month.
