In What X Buys You this week, UrbanTurf takes a look at properties that recently came on the market in the $629,000 to $655,000 range to give readers an idea of what type of home is available in this price point in the DC area.

Open Two-Level Unit in 16th Street Row House

Located on the upper levels of a 16th Street townhouse between Q and Church Street, this 1,120 square-foot condo is spacious by two-bedroom standards in DC, and its location on one of the city’s main avenues puts it within strolling distance of both the 14th Street Corridor and Dupont Circle. The second bedroom is fairly small, working better as an office or nursery, but the master bedroom suite has a large bathroom and access to a balcony. Parking is taken care of for one year; after that there is a rental fee.

The unit, which is the lowest-priced property featured today, comes with storage and parking.

White Picket Fence Living in Arlington

While the home itself might not be all that large, this Arlington colonial sits on a large lot that has a huge backyard bounded by that quintessential suburban staple: the white picket fence. Everything has been updated, so the kitchen, bathrooms, basement and plumbing systems are all in very good condition. In addition to the fence, the fact that the home sits within the boundaries of the Arlington county public school system makes it a fairly family-friendly option.
