[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, if you make $400K, then you're not going to want to live in a $575K house.  And in DC $575K won't buy you a SFH, unless it's a really bad neighborhood. It won't even buy you a townhouse in a decent neighborhood.  It might buy you a small 2 bedroom condo in a decent neighborhood, but you won't have good schools.

$575K will buy you a teardown in a decent close in suburb.  And that decent suburb will look like the ghetto compared to the nice places you are used to.

Like others here - I would caution you from moving into DC.  This place has a high cost of living, and I don't think it has more to offer than Chicago.. unless you're into politics.[/quote]

$575 will buy you a house in Pimmit hills. I really like it here. But, you'd only have 1500 sq feet or less. Every store and food option imagine able is within 1- 2 miles. I mean everything. But like PPS said, it's very expensive in the DC area generally. You won't have tons of housing options. It's a tough place to be in some ways. Harder to meet people.[/quote]
