[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How about 1.3 million in Trinidad ??? https://www.redfin.com/DC/Washington/1612-Levis-St-NE-20002/home/10097703?utm_source=ios_share&utm_medium=share&utm_campaign=copy_link&utm_nooverride=1&utm_content=link[/quote]

Pricing in Trinidad is really interesting right now. Surprising number of places asking for close to $1m, and this place is in line with those prices because if it’s size. But you can also find 2 bedroom condos in the less desirable parts of the neighborhood (further from H, more crime, close to Bladensberg or Mt Oliver), for less than 400k. Kind of fascinating.

I don’t think they’ll get 1.3, but I think they will eventually get 1.1. I’ve also got my eye on a developer flip down on Morse with some interesting features that I expect to list for a similar amount because of what they’re doing. Very curious to see how that goes, as multiple million dollar homes in the neighborhood is very new territory.[/quote]

"Trinidad" is a useless nomenclature for purposes of real estate. A house on Bladensburg Road has zero geographical similarity to one just north of Florida Avenue off of 8th Street. That house is in no man's land.[/quote]

I don't understand your point. That place literally is within the accepted boundaries of Trinidad (it's slightly west of Bladensburg, not on it, and south of Mount Olivet). If it were on the other side of Bladensburg, then no, it's not Trinidad.

If your point is about some sort of divide between where this house is and the portions of Trinidad closer to H Street, then sure, I guess it's a little removed. [/quote]

Yeah, Trinidad is the rare DC neighborhood with extremely defined borders (North if Florida, West of Bladensberg, South of Mt. Olivet, East of W. Virginia). I do agree there is quite a bit of variety in it. The first couple streets after Florida (Morse and Neal) are indistinguishable from streets south of Florida in the same area. The closer you get to Mt. Olivet, the dicier it is (and less expensive). Proximity to W. Virginia and Bladensberg is also less ideal due to noise/traffic/crime.

But the comment above especially makes no sense because there is no 8th north of Florida. That’s just Gallaudet, a private campus. Not Trinidad.[/quote]
