[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am wondering if I get into my dream charter, if I can also find a dream home in brookland. My current house would sell for between $1 and $1.2 mil. My wish list in brookland would be:
1) coffee shop I could walk to in under a mile
2) 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths-- which would include an inlaw suite plus a playroom 
3) parking and maybe even a garage
4) a wooded lot or a lot overlooking woods
5) space and enough room left on the budget to install a nice swimming pool.

Does this kind of thing exist in brookland?

This seems like a joke.  With all due respect to Brookland, why would anyone live there if they had one million to spend?  It is mostly a low-income/middle-income neighborhood, with lots of strenths but lots of weaknesses.  If you had that much money to spend why would you move to Brookland?  [/quote]

I don't know, you can't really get what she wants anywhere else in the city for $1 million.  Maybe in the burbs, but if her goal is to have all those things-- large house, garage, wooded lot, swimming pool in Woodley/Cleveland/Palisades/etc.  you'd have to spend a lot more than a million.  If she wants to live close in DC and to have a house like that, Brookland could be a reasonable option (although I don't think what she is looking for exists, she'd have to buy and tear down).[/quote]
