[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^and I lived six blocks east of Union Station in grad school, absolutely loved it, rarely felt unsafe.  But 13th and H is too close to random crap for my liking.  We have friends who live not far from there and the DW has been across the street from two random shootings not far apart.  No, thanks.[/quote]

OP Here - I'm curious if you think that is changing though as developers move 'up' H Street. Will they hop over to Benning too?

I know when I first moved to DC in 09 - no one in their right mind would buy on H Street. It was a fad place with a few restaurants that wouldn't last. Now? It's one of the best places to eat in all of D.C. with strong retail and grocery and real estate appreciation.

So that's part of why I'm considering it? And I can save $400,000 on a three-bedroom...[/quote]

I hear you, although people were just starting to buy in '09 (I was still on the Hill then).  Is there nothing just a bit west?  Or is it that much more expensive?

But that said, no, I don't see developers taking over Benning anytime soon.  They're moving north, not east, at least not yet.[/quote]
