Washington, DC
Transient, Young, and Active -
11/11/2009DC is definitely the political capital of the U.S. As a result, a large percentage of the population is transient - coming to work for a few years before moving on. In addition, a large portion of the population is quite young.
DC is also a pretty expensive place to live (mostly in terms of housing and cost of living items). The more affordable neighborhoods can get dodgey quickly, but there are some really nice and affordable places - you just have to be patient and willing to look hard.
There are plenty of really fun and really great things to do in the DC area, and it is ideally located for quick travel to other locations as well. It is very easy to get to Philadelphia, NY, the coast, or the mountains for a weekend getaway. The museums will give you endless entertainment and there is always something happening in town.
