[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]petworth and brookland -- lots of new restaurants and art institutions. Culture builders are what make hot neighborhoods last[/quote] Houses in Petworth are already $600-$700k rehabbed. I don't see how the prices can appreciate much more until the schools are better. Because for $800k you can buy in JKLMM. [/quote] This. Restaurants and other amenities tend to appear after the neighborhood has become hot. So we should be looking for neighborhoods that lack amenities or are on the verge of getting amenities. Homes in neighborhoods that already have restaurants, cafés, etc, are priced accordingly.[/quote] Well then, perhaps Shepherd Park should be added to the list. Homes here already start around 600-700K, and that's without many walkable amenities in the area. But with Walter Reed's redevelopment on the horizon, SP homes should appreciate. (However, 2015 is admittedly a little premature to consider this neighborhood "hot" for this reason alone since the plans will not come to fruition for a while.) Also, the neighborhood elementary school is on an upward trajectory with a new IB curriculum and pretty decent test scores for an EOTP school, so that may also lead to greater "buzz" about the neighborhood in 2015.[/quote] PP here--forgot to mention that while Shepherd Park is already zoned for Deal (and Deal and Wilson are destination schools for kids who attend Shepherd Elementary), if the new boundary revisions go through, SP will also be zoned for Wilson (as opposed to Coolidge, as it is now). Another reason to expect an even tighter market in SP in 2015.[/quote] Yes, I love the neighborhood but there is very low inventory in Shepherd Park. The school is great though![/quote]
