UrbanTurf Reader Asks: Should I Buy a Rowhouse in Mount Pleasant or Petworth?
Mount Pleasant Rowhouses by NCinDC
In this week’s installment of UrbanTurf Reader Asks, a reader who is in the market for a row house wonders if she should sacrifice space and price for convenience by buying in Mount Pleasant over Petworth.
"I admit that this could be an annoying question for some, but I am having a lot of trouble deciding between whether to buy a row house in Petworth or in Mount Pleasant. The pros of Petworth are more space for your money and probably a little more upside for resale value in 3-5 years given the increased development going on in the neighborhood. Mount Pleasant is slightly more expensive, but has a little more character and is more centrally located. I know that this decision also boils down to which neighborhood I like more, but quite honestly, I like them both equally. Thanks for your input.
