[quote=Anonymous]we live in Brightwood proper. (Technically its the small section between Georgia & 16th south of Wally reed & north of military.). It is a hidden gem. Single family detached homes with decent yards and large row houses. Safeway is walking distance, rock creek park/trails are a block away. we bought in 2009, the first house listed on our street in 11 years!!). Our street is older African American retirees and us. I love it. It's insanely quite. After we bought a house on 13th street was sold for 500. It was just listed again and was under contract in less than 7 days with an asking price of $599. So a 100k increase in 3 years!  It was pretty updated in '09 so I think that's a sign of the neighborhood growing in interest/popularity and other variables.

I think Walmart will improve the area because it will bring in new businesses (coffee shop, maybe?) on the terrible strip of Georgia.  Also I think it will make the Safeway step up its game.

Have you checked refin lately?  Prices are increasing... And inventory is always low. [/quote]
