[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok, that's helpful. I'm not sure the proximity thing is a huge thing for us -- I might rather be a little deeper in the neighborhood anyway. I also really don't like the proximity of the highway. I think it counteracts the sound advantages you mention.

I should note that we have actually been inside that 4th Street house and I'm not convinced it's actually over 900 square feet. It feels really small. Definitely a lot small than our apartment which is  only 1000 square feet. but feels like a palace comparatively. I don't know if it's just the layout or if they are fudging a bit, but I was kind of shocked by how tight it felt. I'm curious to see if the Constitution Avenue house feels noticeably smaller.[/quote]

New listings that might appeal to you more than either of those two.

Oh wow, thank you anonymous realtor! These are great.

That house in Trinidad feels like a steal (though whew that exterior color is not my thing, but that's easy to change). We have heard such conflicting things about that neighborhood -- any insight from posters here? We've been in DC for a little over 3 years, in a rental near Eastern Market. But don't know anyone who lives or has lived in Trinidad proper. Thoughts?[/quote]

The Holbrook st house is a good amount of space but I would worry about schools - not sure how Wheatley is doing these days? It is also MUCH more violent than Eastern Market - the starburst intersection is notorious. I also don’t like that it is a complete flip with cheap builder grade finishes - makes me wonder about quality of construction. I would consider buying that same house unrenovsted and priced closer to 600 than 800. [/quote]
