UrbanTurf Reader Asks: Two-Bedroom Rental Debate: Mount Pleasant or Capitol Hill: Figure 1

In this week’s installment of UrbanTurf Reader Asks, a reader moving to the District who has been analyzing the prices for two-bedroom rentals in Capitol Hill and Mount Pleasant wants to get some reader feedback about which neighborhood offers the better rental bargain.

I will be moving to the District with my fiance in a few months, so we have been comparing rental rates on two-bedroom places in our favorite DC neighborhoods: Mount Pleasant and Capitol Hill. Surprisingly, at least to us, we are finding that rents in Capitol Hill, even around Eastern Market where we hope to live, are less expensive for the most part than comparable rentals in Mount Pleasant. Using Craigslist, we ballparked rent for a two-bedroom on the Hill at around $2,200 and in Mount Pleasant that average looks to be about $300 to $400 higher. I would love to hear from readers that rent places this size in the neighborhoods if these numbers seem accurate to them.
