You picked the one gem of out of a sea of sameness. Tons of personality - enjoy decorating!

I’m impressed that you were able to find a 1 bedroom apartment in DC in a safe area for $1,800. Congratulations! NOMA is up and coming but the noise must have been incredible. My niece works in DC at the World Bank. She lived in Foggy Bottom for 7-8 yrs. She loved the area. They are still on the 3 days work from home and 2 days in office. I just can’t imagine the traffic when all the workers return to M-F.

I'm surprised I found it for that price too!! With gas, electricity, & internet it's going to be more like $1,900 a month. Foggy Bottom is a beautiful area - much safer than NoMa! And yes, loving the hybrid schedule for work right now & hopping it stays that way. The traffic can sometimes get really bad!

@@maddydesign I live in Southern Maryland. We were at Washington Hospital weekend before last. At 11 am traffic was moving, but just moving. It took almost 1/2 an hr to get to the South Capitol Street bridge circle. Thank goodness the Nationals Season hadn’t started.

There is just something about older apartments. Maybe it's the old charm. I hate the standard box layout of current apartments and am happy you found your gem

Thanks for this. Live about 2.5 hours away in Hampton and really want to move to the DMV area. These prices make me want to get a house in NOVA instead of getting an apartment.

I know this is a year later, however, I love the apartment you chose! Lots of character and potential for you to not outgrow the space for quite a while!!!

It's so sad that the hard flooring is popular in apartments. It creates so much noise. Carpets are the way to go for apartment buildings.

@lql1094 7 ай бұрын

They stain too easily and wear down quickly. Area rugs can be used to buffer noise on hardwoods.

I live in NW D.C. - 3rd & Minnesota . . . Safe area, much renovations in a two block area making neighborhood even more inviting. With front yard & back yard, 1st floor apt RENT - $1,100/month, including utilities ! 😎 🇺🇲 🏠

why are you looking at singles and bachelor units instead of actual one bedroom units ?

@maddydesign Жыл бұрын

I looked at anything that was within my price range! The apartment I ended up getting is a 1 bedroom :)

@maddydesign Жыл бұрын

Georgetown, Dupont, and areas around Eastern Market are probably the best. I recommend staying away from Noma/Columbia Heights, Navy Yard, and certain areas in Capitol Hill

@mjp2615 Жыл бұрын

@@maddydesign thank you! My daughter is in Noma but is looking for an affordable place she can afford on her own. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

@maddydesign Жыл бұрын

@@mjp2615 I would recommend looking on www.zillow.com! There are affordable places in Georgetown and Dupont ... but sometimes sacrifices have to be made (a view, washer and dryer, dishwasher, etc.) Making a list of what she wants out of an apartment helps too! Also super important - if it's an older apartment building don't get anything on a lower floor. Wishing you guys the best of luck :)

Zillow is very helpful (www.zillow.com)! I got my place for $1800 because I kinda had to sacrifice a dishwasher and washer & dryer. I thought it was worth it though!
