Tuesday’s Deal of the Week

  • June 30, 2009

The “deal” in this week’s Deal of the Week is the property’s location as much as the price. This junior one-bedroom is nestled in between Logan Circle and the U Street Corridor, and at under $250,000 it is a find for someone who puts location above size. The unit is small, with a bed alcove instead of a bedroom. With a cozy living and kitchen space, it is a good condo for a first-time home buyer that needs to live in the thick of DC nightlife, but does not have a lot of money for a down payment.
