[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So for those of you who say 1.3 mi is the highest cap for H Street... is this to say that this house below won’t sell above 1.3 mi? https://www.redfin.com/DC/Washington/1335-Maryland-Ave-NE-20002/home/52546029?utm_source=ios_share&utm_medium=share&utm_campaign=text&utm_nooverride=1&utm_content=link[/quote]

110% disagree with the hate H Street is receiving in this thread. That’s said, I don’t consider the house you linked H street proper.[/quote]

So you recommend 8th and H as a desirable place to live compared to any other part of the H Street corridor? And you think comparing a 6br / 3500 sq. ft. house (which is really, really unusual in this part of town) with the typical 3br flip of the area is rational?[/quote]

Uh no that was my point.[/quote]Having lived one block from 8th and H for 6 years, I dont think there is any difference between living one block away and 4-5 blocks from that intersection.  The trouble at that intersection really doesnt extend into the neighborhoods in either direction.  We would sometimes walk around the intersection, by walking down G or I St and joining H at 7th or 9th, though you do mostly get used to it.  It really is a very localized loitering issue.  And, given the choice, I'd much rather live on 8th than Maryland, which is a semi highway at rush hour with crazy MD drivers.[/quote]

It's true. This problem is really localized to this specific block of 8th between H and I. I don't even think you would have a problem on the south side of H street because the houses just feel a little more removed from H street. Same with the block north of I Street, or I street in either direction. It's just this block.[/quote]

I live right in the immediate neighborhood (kids go to LT). That corner is a huge problem. I would never want to live there. There are truly drunk/high people loitering all day and fighting. I have twice seen guns pulled on that corner, but that was a couple of years ago and I think it's calmed down a bit. It's also currently directly across the street from massive construction. A block away? No issue at all. [b]I have heard rumors that 7-11 might be on its way out; that would fix *a lot* even though the bus and trolley stops will stay. That 7-11 is both a source of some of the problems and a notoriously terrible neighbor.[/b]

To the recent poster, for kids that are already 5 & 9 I put my kids into L-T without hesitation. I would not put my 9 year old into JOW. 4 years from now? Maybe. SH I'm not quite sure about yet. Fingers crossed.[/quote]

Please let this be true!  As much as my family loves slurpees we don’t go anywhere near that 7-11

And I’ll also answer the kids poster - we live on the north side of H and my DC are early elementary and middle school.  My oldest lotteried into another elementary school so they never attended the local school, but I’d have considered it for my younger child.  Stuart Hobson was/is also on the table as a middle school option.[/quote]
