400K + $300 per month +300 monthly property taxes comes out same or less than rent if you have DP. With rates at 3% maybe not 6.5%.
DC helps with DP if you make 50-80K .

What many don't realize I think is that one bedrooms in 20009 (in beautiful old buildings cuz very little new construction) have not gone up in price last 10 years . 325-450K.

Affordable at 60% of some income level they use is I think for people making 50-80K, so many on here might qualify for all the affordable units in new projects

Then why be so pushy? And say you're OK but then ticket you. They seem to take more pride in their work then other city employees

I have 5 paintings I purchased on here at home . Gifted 2 to my sister and BIL. 3 to my son.
There's something for everyone and great quality.
Very few are woven, so use the zoom provided.

WF on P St + PN Hoffman builders redoing a prime property on Logan Circle.
The very first indications of gentrification. A friend bought for $185K a Townhouse on Vermont Ave. Sold few years later 3X but now 7X.

I don't see how they can get away with charging for something that is not individually metered

16th St + New Hampshire Ave NW + Georgetown have some grand buildings and mostly townhouses. Kalorama too .
Best Addresses book has a list of the most fashionable buildings in DC .

Edit: I read 1990.
Up to 1997/1998 mainly all of NW west of Dupont Circle.
Georgetown + Woodley Park + parts of Palisades, etc . Very few parts of Capitol Hill, too. But you needed to know your way around.
Best Addresses was a book about the most elegant apartment/condo buildings in DC . A few on Connecticut Ave, California St , Columbia Rd and Dupont Circle.
Then gentrification happened, and living east of Dupont Circle was in.
DC was designed upto Florida Ave NW. This is the old DC. When you pass the Duke Ellington bridge is where the "suburbs" start .

You probably shouldn't be paying for water . See my comment below (long reply)

This should be illegal. I've been a landlord in DC and owned condos I rented out, or family members lived in rentals . Mostly 20009 + 20007 zip codes.
The OWNER pays for the water. In the condos, we/they never got a water bill. It's part of the building expenses that are part of the condo fee, which again is paid by the OWNER, not the tenant.
If you are not being individually metered, I don't think dividing the bill is even fair /legal.
This is probably happening in recently built buildings where the developers own the property and squeeze every $$ out of their tenants.
