[quote=Anonymous][quote]$700k for 2br/2.5ba. Location on the corner of 8th and K isn't ideal, but the price is about right for this type of house in this neighborhood.

$700k for 2br/1.5ba. It abuts an apartment building, doesn't have great curb appeal (but awww they tried with the picket fence), and is dwarfed by the homes around it. Not much I like about the inside either. But it's a condo alternative with opportunity to improve.

Agree that between these two, I'd take the one on 11th. It's partly the location (8th is never going to get quieter or less dicey, so that's something you will live with the entire time you are there). But also, it appears that 11th street has a larger lot and an opportunity for parking? I don't think the 8th street house has alley access. And agree with PP that it would be nice to be able to upgrade the 11th street house to my liking, whereas part of what you are paying for on 8th is the very recent upgrades, which may or may not be to my taste.

Also, if it's a young couple who might have a baby, I give an edge for being inbound for Ludlow Taylor over J.O. Wilson. L-T is almost impossible to get into if you aren't IB, and is a great school, so that would be a big selling point for me if I was looking for a starter home that we would upgrade from after our kid started school. Just my two cents.[/quote]
