UrbanTurf usually stays away from publishing rankings or lists…except at the end of the year when we look back at what DC’s residential real estate scene had to offer during the previous 12 months. So, over the last week we looked at not only the best but the most intriguing and peculiar things that came across our radar over the course of 2016.
