[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think every expensive area in DC metro have been mentioned here.  What about up and coming places?  Which one is the most overrated?

I have a friend who bought in the H-street corridor, one side of it was already out of her price range, so she bought on the other side and is afraid to leave her house at night after the shooting under her windows.  I drove around a few times and don't see the appeal of that area at all, sure, there are some new places opening up catering to the yuppsters, but I think it still has a long way to go.  [/quote]

I still hold out hope for H St North.  It really is beautiful housing stock, and would be sort of the natural thing to connect Eckington and "NoMa" with the triangle below florida.  (dare I say it, TriBeFla?)

But H St itself really puts me off.  It's so unorganic -- it's not like it's even thriving mom & pop shops mixed with more upscale places and amenities for everyone.  Unlike in Columbia Heights, where you mix pupuserias with more expensive restaurants and Target & 5 Guys.  Instead, H st is this very jarring mixture of really sad-sack places and parachuted-in "trendy" bars.  The combination is really off-putting for everyone, I think.  Maybe the new Giant will unite the street a bit more.
