Rent: it's not just a musical soundtrack you memorized in the '90s! It's also something you (likely) pay in DC, and do so quite amply.

The Metro: it's how you get places in DC, from your job to your favorite bar. Thus, figuring out which Metro stop will get you the places you need to go at a price you can afford would have to be a pretty significant consideration when living in DC, yes? Wouldn't it be fantastic if someone put together a convenient map highlighting the median price (per bedroom) of an apartment near every Metro stop? Why yes, it would. That's why we did it, with a hefty assist from the real estate pros at Trulia.
