UrbanTurf Reader Asks: Which DC Hood Has the Best Investment Potential?

  • May 26th 2009

by Mark Wellborn

In this week’s installment of “UrbanTurf Reader Asks,” a reader inquires about which DC neighborhoods have the best investment potential:

"I have been looking to buy a condo or single-family home (if the price is right) in DC for about four months, but I want to buy in an area where I can get a good deal and the property will increase in value over time.

I am looking in the $400,000 to $500,000 range and don't need to live in Dupont or Georgetown. In fact, I would prefer areas like Le Droit Park or Mount Pleasant."

About eight months ago, we offered up what we considered to be the DC neighborhoods with the best investment potential, but we imagine our readers have their own take. Post your thoughts in the comments section. If you would like to submit a question for "UrbanTurf Reader Asks," send an email to editor@urbanturf.com.
