[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parking may be a challenge when the market is happening, but probably not much worse than any other time. Nice thing about that neighborhood is it's walkability and proximity to metro. 7th and SC are extremely walkable locations so not really a need to take the car out all that much. So many houses on the Hill don't have parking, even close to things like EM, so I'm not sure it's that much of a factor for most buyers.[/quote]

It really depends on the buyer. Many people want the walkability of the Hill but also want to reliably park their car on their block whenever they come home. This can be particularly important to people with kids -- even if you only take your car out once or twice a week, if you have small children, it's really helpful to be close enough to the house that carrying a car seat, stroller, or other gear back and forth isn't overly burdensome.

We lived on the Hill for 4 years with street parking only and regularly parked a couple blocks away from our house without issue. But when we moved we prioritized a place with parking specifically because we were having a kid. So it absolutely factored into our thinking then. Now our kid is 5 and it's become less important again. But for 5 years, it was really nice to be able to park close.[/quote]
