[quote=Anonymous][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 bought a block off H in 2006. We’re still here, still happy, and have a house worth more than twice what we paid for it. [/quote]

Bragging about home appreciation is like bragging about marriage for money. Yah burning trough it might be fun but you are missing the point. I rather live somewhere nice and lose money on a house.

Of course some will say they’re happy but strangely always caveat it with “don’t doubt us we made money”. No one in nice neighborhoods have to quantify that at least they made money living there. Your insecurities are more telling than your words[/quote]
