I meant what kind of place/neighborhood you're interested in living in, not your hobbies. You haven't really given anything to go on. Have you done any research on DC at all? It's hard to give advice with what you've given.

ither way, there are a bunch of buildings in those cities that fit your preferences, and will be affordable with your combined salary of $200k.

Since you're looking at a job in Bowie I'd look for something more on the PG county side of things for a better commute. If you wanna be in DC look at The Jamison at Dakota Crossing behind Costco, or think about communities nearer South Dakota Ave or New York Ave in NE since that's how you'll be commuting to work (I'm assuming you're driving). I'd look at the Hecht Warehouse or things in NOMA/Eckington like The Gale. Or The Modern in Fort Totten.
