Southwest Waterfront by Mr.T_in_DC
This week, an UrbanTurf reader inquires about the Southwest Waterfront neighborhood. Despite our growing knowledge of the DC area and the residential real estate market, we are not very familiar with this area. Below is her email, and if you can offer your two cents, please do so in the comments section. As you can see, she has already done some homework.
I am considering purchasing a condo in the Southwest Waterfront neighborhood, but I am curious how much investment is being made to make the waterfront area more akin to Seattle or Vancouver rather than what it is now. If you have any useful links to articles or specific information – I would really appreciate the tip. Here are some websites that I am already familiar with:
- The Washington Post overview of SW Waterfront future development plans. Click here for link.
- The Southwest DC Blog that posts updates on new developments, renovations, and events in the area.
- Developments in Southwest DC, a blog that is specifically oriented around the redevelopment of the neighborhood.
