[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Get over yourself.  Monrovia is to downtown LA as Laurel is to downtown DC.  That's what you should be comparing to Monrovia, not a row house on Capitol Hill.  [/quote]

This. Do apples to apples and come back[/quote]

Go back and read the thread. You can't find attractive housing stock in Laurel either, not like the house in Monrovia.

I feel like the closest you could come would be like Takoma Park, which does have cute bungalows. But a house in TP updated and in the condition of the Monrovia house would cost a lot more. And you'd have to really hunt for it. There are just so few really cute houses in this area. We actually like some of the mid-century modern homes in this area -- the Charles Goodman et al stuff. They can be tricky to update but at least they have some thoughtful design and aesthetically pleasing architecture. But they are hard to find and then often aren't near good schools. There's one on the market now, but it needs a total gut, down to the studs, and is designated historic so it's a huge undertaking and probably not worth the headache.[/quote]
