[quote=Anonymous]It’s difficult to predict what will happen EOTR. One could argue that many neighborhoods have better access to public transit and shopping (via car) than parts of Ft. Totten (shopping) and upper Petworth/Brightwood. I think the key difference is the quality of the housing stock. Houses in many EOTR areas are simply of lower quality and architectural value than areas WOTP and WOTR. Deanwood has seen lots of growth, but the houses are largely unattractive cheap wood/siding. Also the large housing projects and low income apartments aren’t going anywhere. Crime will always be a problem in Anacostia, Congress Heights and Deanwood due to the high concentration of poverty. I’d say buy, only if you’re staying long term. But be prepared for a lack of gentrification and slow appreciation. [/quote]
