An idea was born last night at UrbanTurf’s Happy Hour between a reader and the editor of this publication. The reader is currently looking for a condo in DC and has narrowed her search down to three listings. We thought it would be a good idea to feature those listings, and get feedback on each from you, our readers. So, let her know which one you like best in the comments section.
3573 Warder St NW in Petworth (see map here)
- Price: $349,000
- Bedrooms: Two
- Baths: Two
- Square Footage: 1,176
The photo above is of a model in this development, but our reader says that the unit she is interested in is a duplex with the bedrooms on the bottom floor and living area/kitchen on the top floor. While she loves the apartment, she is a little concerned about the neighborhood, especially because the bedrooms are on the bottom floor, and there is a side door that would be accessible from the street. Is she right to worry about crime here? Click here for the full listing.
1714 Independence Ave SE in Hill East (see map here)
- Price: $337,900
- Bedrooms: Two
- Baths: Two
- Square Footage (Lot): 2,189
This is a large apartment and she likes the neighborhood and the fact that the property has a backyard. Because it has been on the market awhile she thinks that she can get a good deal (the price has been reduced by $70K already), but says that it definitely needs some work (cleaning and painting, new appliances, carpet and bath tubs). Click here for the full listing.
11 16th St SE in Hill East (see map here)
- Price: $325,000
- Bedrooms: Two
- Baths: 1.5
- Square Footage (Approx.): 825
Our reader is visiting this property for the first time today, but was very impressed from the photos in the listing. Her main worry is the small size (825 square feet) on two floors. Click here for the full listing.
So, readers, please let us know your vote. The duplex in Petworth, the roomy apartment in Hill East with a backyard, or the smaller one in Hill East?
