Petworth

[Anonymous]

I’m too thin skinned to live in Logan. We almost bought right on the circle, but next to a hoarder house it seemed. Neighbors vary. I’m very comfortable with the decision to buy a SFH in CP.

I wish I had bought that Logan house to sell it. But not to live in, because of the schools, urbanity, crime, noise, ATVs and shared walls (including things like mold, sewer and vermin). Being completely transparent.

They are gorgeous though.

As I said in an earlier post, I live in Logan. I can afford Cleveland Park easily. That’s not what this is about.

Logan is a lot cheaper per sqft. Also many smaller places in Logan

CP >> Logan >> Pet.

I just did a quick Redfin search. There are currently two houses on the market in Cleveland Park, and both a priced hundreds of dollars lower per square foot than anything in Logan. So, yea, you’re very wrong.

That’s where median, mean, and YoY comes into play, you have to do an honest comparison

Logan median $1.2m; CP $1.6m
Logan sqft <$500; CP >>$500

Don’t let the facts get in your way, Logan.

Where do you live and how much actual experience do you have with Petworth? From the sound of your post you’ve never lived there.

I have visited quite a few times(know a few people that live there) but yeah true never lived there myself, area does not appeal to me in the slightest. Don't have kids yet but thinking of it soon, and yeah the lack of safety and good schools, plus its distance from work and the parts of DC I frequent make it a no go for me.

I currently live in Clarendon. When I first moved to DMV lived in Georgetown (and stayed in that vicinity for a few years after graduation) before moving to Kalorama for a few years. My preference for area DC wise is very much Georgetown, closely followed by Dupont/Admo (the in-between point of those two areas ideally, so that you can walk to either one in a timely manner).

You sound mighty white!

I own a rowhome in the heart of Logan. It’s not cheaper than Cleveland Park per square foot. Prove me wrong.

So to recap, you’re a 54 yr old relative newcomer * to DC who owns a $4-5 million rowhome. Who takes really long walks in the middle of the workday with some frequency


And then you come home and post your “impressions” on neighborhoods on a parenting website


* newcomer because you don’t know what Cleveland Park actually entails. So you shelled out millions of dollars on a residence without at least driving by $4-5 million comps in the all of few neighborhoods that actually have $4-5 million comps (such as CP).

Not a newcomer. I’ve lived in the DMV my entire adult life, and in the city itself for two decades.

The two homes in CP that are currently on Redfin are not condos. They are single-family homes. And they are not $3 million. They both cost less than a typical rowhome in Logan.

Again, take two data points and ignore the data and facts, why not?

If you’re paying more for Logan than CP that’s not good for you

Gorgeous AND more expensive per square foot than CP.

😂

You also win on the murders and rats, and ATVs. It’s paradise.

Ok, can we go back to Petworth now?

Why is it that people like you automatically go to race/play the race card as soon as you hear something that you don't like/goes against your beliefs.

For your information, I am neither white nor American (am an immigrant)...so maybe don't assume, as they say, "When you assume, you make an ass out of you and me"

To which sources are you referring?

This sounds exactly like what someone says who lives in the Suburbs.

If this is someone from the suburbs, no offense intended.

If this is Cleveland Park - which it surely is - congratulations on the self-own. You win on humiliating yourself.

I have so humiliated myself; I’m embarrassed.
Proud DC. Do I hate ATVs and rats? Yes. Do I think Logan is a more exclusive and expensive neighborhood? No way. No one does. Including Redfin. Where the data upstream came from.

Logan is not even in the top 10. Median house was $1.2m after it went up 30% in 2023.

https://www.axios.com/local/washington-dc/2024/01/30/expensive-neighborhoods-spring-valley-berkley-kent

Logan: look at 1y median TH price 1.17m
https://www.redfin.com/neighborhood/64260/DC/Washington-DC/Logan-Circle/housing-market

CP: look at 1y median TH price 1.625m (note CP is SFHs, THs are harder to sell and cheaper and fewer)
https://www.redfin.com/neighborhood/18558/DC/Washington-DC/Cleveland-Park/housing-market

How’s any of this a question?
