What Does $280K Buy You in DC?: Figure 1

You don’t expect to get a 750 square-foot unit in one of DC’s nicer neighborhoods for under $300K. But this is exactly what you get with this corner unit in Wesley Heights. The property has multiple windows in the living room/dining area that offer great views of the neighborhood. The kitchen and bathroom have been remodeled, and the entire unit has hardwood floors. The bedroom is large and also has windows that let in a lot of natural light.

This is a neighborhood known for its inordinately high monthly maintenance costs, and at $576/month, the fees on this unit are steep. That said, it includes most utilities, a concierge and access to an exercise room, sauna and roof deck, all of which we would value at about $150-$200/month. More details and photos below.
