UrbanTurf Reader Asks: Is the H Street Corridor Worth It?
In this installment of UrbanTurf Reader Asks, a reader who is having trouble pulling the trigger on buying a home in the H Street Corridor wants reassurance that he will be making the right decision if he does. "For months, I have been looking at homes on the market in one section of DC: the revamped H Street area. I go out to the bars and restaurants there fairly frequently, go to shows from time to time at Rock & Roll Hotel and find it pretty convenient to other parts of the city. Also, the housing stock is a lot like that in Capitol Hill, only cheaper. However, I can't seem to get over the fact that outside the five or six block stretch that has been revamped, not very much has changed along H Street. Combine that with the crime that still exists in the area, and I wonder if I will see a return on my investment even ten years from now?"
