You won't get anything with a 2 car garage for less than $600k in if you want to walk to a Metro station. Trust me I have been looking for the past 2 months. I looked at 40+ townhouses, if you want to park and ride then choices are much greater and prices are less as well. Of course, It all depends on the area you are looking at though.
The District published a study on the cost of living comparison (tax burden) between the 6 major areas in DC Metro:
