[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think that this is a great recommendation but (I was the Bloomingdale/LeDroit PP) I STRONGLY recommend that you at least spend a day walking around the areas closer to Howard.

If you get good weather, what I would recommend is a walk down 18th Street, turn left on U Street and walk down to 7th (wander around the side streets as you go so you can get a sense of the area - especially around 14th because it's so dense with retail, and around 9th & V because that's near Howard), then walk through LeDroit on T Street and end at 1st & Rhode Island which is the middle of the Bloomingdale neighborhood. I'd walk up 1st Street to check out Bloomingdale then loop back over on Bryant to 7th St which will take you right through the Howard campus. Then you'll be exhausted so you can Uber back or to another part of the city to check it out. [/quote]
Thank you so much for the detailed plan. I'm making notes and will definitely try to do this. Just curious what would be a starter home price range here for a big 2 bedroom or small 3 bed? Is it more row homes or condos? [/quote]

The housing mix will vary a lot by neighborhood (some are condos, some are rowhouses) but I think you're looking at $800k+ for a place that fits that criteria. If that's way out of budget, I would still recommend making this walk because it will show you what life is like in the city, but there are some neighborhoods a little bit further north or east that are more affordable (Brookland, NoMa, Petworth come to mind)[/quote]
