[quote=Anonymous]In 1999, I paid $1600 for an apartment in DuPont circle and was damn glad to get that — I had looked all over NW and Capital Hill and there was a massive bidding war and I was not picky. The only way I even got that one was to show up 30 minutes early to the showing, and say “I’ll take it” before even seeing the apartment. I then had my boyfriend fill in the paper while I quickly made sure the apartment wasn’t mold infested or anything. That would be 3200 in today’s dollars. I paid $455 ($989 in today’s dollars) in 1994 for a small room in a house in Columbia heights where I shared the bathroom with four other people. I think part of the issue is that Woodbridge has come up in the world so is getting to be more comparable to prices you saw elsewhere. Also it seems like everyone wants new stuff with amenities. My DuPont circle apartment hadn’t been upgraded or revised in decades when I had it. [/quote]
