[quote=Anonymous]I'm adding a vote to the H Street corridor. I bought a small condo there in 2006 after getting priced out of everywhere else that was close to downtown.  It's been an OK place to bunk as a single girl but it has most assuredly not blossomed the way real estate agents wanted you to believe. What's amusing is that growing retail and entertainment on H Street has in no way translated into overall improvement of residential neighborhood in which it is located. It's still ghetto. Sorry (for myself). It won't improve much until people who live or rent there change over.  Until then, the only notable sign of improvement will be crowds of white boys and girls who live in Cap Hill proper eight to the basement drinking on H Street.

Oddly enough, I moved to McLean after DS was born and kind of like it there. I didn't expect to like it but after having DS what I want out of housing really changed. Great parks now mean more to me than the abundance of restaurants (one certainly doesn't move to McLean for the food). We'll see how things develop; all is well for now. The ghetto condo is rented out and doing well. [/quote]
