[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lots of couples who want to have kids and stay in the city and want to be close to downtown are priced out of Capital Hill.  So everything is pushed north to H St.  The people who are buying homes in H St are young couples or couples with young children.  Then throw in the single artsy type because H St is cool and not stuffy like Capital Hill and throw in the young single professionals.  Then there are people who have lived there before the area gentrified.  So it’s a diverse mixture of people.

The commercial corridor to H St is 11 blocks long and it’s not even fully developed yet.  A number of new apartment/condo buildings with retail on the street level are going up.  Union Station is going to be developed also with amenities. The area is blowing up and lots more amenities in the works with retail, restauarants, etc..  If you are thinking of buying, get in soon before all this happens for it will drive up prices more.[/quote]

Yes but you're still promising something that may or may not happen, at least in a reasonable time frame for some buyers. For DINKs I'd do H St all day, it's got everything you need. But you have to think of your needs down the road, especially since today's sales aren't likely to appreciate nearly as much as what we saw over the past 5-10 years. If you plan to raise kids, eventually you're not pushing some toddler in a stroller to a park and watching them the whole time. You might want a neighborhood where the kids can ride their bikes around, or get some friends together to play in the street. That's not H St, at least not yet.  [/quote]
