Found a City Center bargain

[Anonymous]

Protected, secluded, and right on top of the Louboutin store (which should be the top priority)

Yes, you too can live in a closet in a dumpy, ugly neighborhood. Thanks, realtor.

Zero appreciation in almost ten years. $1K condo fee. Haha.

Such a tiny closet in that bedroom. Don't people who buy these "luxury" condos own more than 20 items of clothing?

It's making me feel claustrophobic

I remember when these places first sold back then for over $1K per square foot and people were shocked. That's NYC pricing!

Turns out they were stupidly overpriced. And now the city has letting the surrounding neighborhood go to sh#t.

No, because these places were built as pied a terres for wealthy folks who have primary homes elsewhere.

Well it does include a parking space! But also the pics to me seem deceiving. The spaces look much larger than they could possibly be given that they've squeezed two rooms into that tiny amount of 635sf.

Wide angle lens... there's literally only space for a TV stand between the kitchen and balcony.

Doesn't seem like a bad price to me.

^^i thought the same, but CityCenter condos have proven to be unable to appreciate in value, and some have even sold at a loss. That factor plus high condo fees is why it is at this price.

I assumed the pricing was originally propped up by the Qataris or something. That development never made sense without some sort of political and/or corruption angle.

Most of the retail there is performative.

At least downtown DC still has shopping. Not as robust as Philadelphia, Boston, Portland or other similarly sized cities, but for a world-class city, DC still has quality shopping, even if it’s mostly for wealthy tourists. Since it’s privately managed, it’s an attractive place to walk around and grab a bite, while the surrounding area deteriorates. Is the flagship Macy’s around the corner any good?

You all sound like a bunch of petty, jealous and out of touch old ladies. It’s a friggin 1 BR CONDO in the downtown. It’s not one of your boring colonials in Upper Caucasia where nothing is going on. 635 square feet is a decent size for a 1 BR, especially one with an open floor plan, and that condo fees covers quite a bit not to mention a parking space.

We had a 640 sf condo in Logan that we sold several years ago for 500k. It was the same size as this unit, and was big enough to have a den and a bedroom and was plenty spacious.

This is not a bad deal at all. You’re all clueless.
