In What X Buys You this week, UrbanTurf takes a look at properties on the market in the $159,000 to $170,000 range to give readers an idea of what type of homes are available in this price point in the DC area.
Lanier Heights Condo With a Walk-in Closet
For those who want to buy at this price but don’t want a long commute, a few options in Lanier Heights popped up in our search. The small neighborhood is tucked between Mount Pleasant and Adams Morgan and is a quick walk to many other neighborhoods, but the price point for one-bedrooms tends to be quite a bit lower than in other parts of DC. This unit is bright, well-maintained and the bedroom is tucked away from the main living area in a “junior one-bedroom” fashion. It’s on the small side, but a walk-in closet and built-ins would help keep the space uncluttered. The one thing on the high side is the unit’s monthly fees.

Top Floor Condo in Falls Church
Located in Falls Church about ten miles from the center of DC, this one-bedroom is a good option for someone who is eager to own and doesn’t mind driving. The top-floor unit is carpeted and modest, and comes with a parking space. The bathroom is full of shiny, well-maintained features, but the kitchen is a bit claustrophobic and outdated.The HOA fees are on the low side.
