[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Live in NWDC - near Foxhall Road.  Bought 5 bedroom, older, classic [1920s], home for $1.35 mil, about 5 years ago, in mid-30s.  I truly love our house, its our 2nd and I am happy to live here forever.  We sold 1st house in DC for more than twice what we paid for it in 1999.  Hate to say this, I really do, but there are tons of families around us who live in 2 to 4 million $ homes and are in their lates 20s and early 30s.   Many have some sort of inheritance or family money, others have high-paying jobs as lawyers/lobbists/CEOs/money managers, some have both.  Its depressing if you compared yourself and your "things" to others.  Don't start down that road - no good will come of it.[/quote]

Foxhall, Berkley, Wesley Heights, and Kent are WASP inheritance central. Most of them don't work or bounce around from job to job. The wives drive Mercedes station wagons and hang out at the Spring Valley Starbucks or Red Door and gossip about each other. Glad we moved out of DC to a less pretentious neighborhood.[/quote]
