[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You all sound like a bunch of petty, jealous and out of touch old ladies.  It’s a friggin 1 BR CONDO in the downtown.  It’s not one of your boring colonials in Upper Caucasia where nothing is going on.  635 square feet is a decent size for a 1 BR, especially one with an open floor plan, and that condo fees covers quite a bit not to mention a parking space.

We had a 640 sf condo in Logan that we sold several years ago for 500k.  It was the same size as this unit, and was big enough to have a den and a bedroom and was plenty spacious.

This is not a bad deal at all.  You’re all clueless. [/quote]

Frankly 600 square feet is too small especially in today's paradigm of hybrid work. That coupled with the fact that it is in city center (no appreciation, declining area) just makes that a no go when you can get a bigger apartment for a similar price somewhere nice. The PITI on that, assuming 20% down is close to 5k. You can also get a 2br townhouse with similar PITI (well more like 5500) in north Arlington (close to Ballston, or Clarendon) and actually live in a decent area. Or like I said a bigger apartment in a nicer area in DC (here is an example https://redf.in/OQLT7o). Here is an example of slightly higher PITI townhome near Rosslyn (https://redf.in/4yXwe3).

Don't know why you overreacted to everyone's comments...no one sounded jealous or anything of the sort...[/quote]
