[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Is this response a joke?  I live in Brookland and I have that budget to spend on a home.  I like the suburban-like feel, and my big house on a big lot.  I love the historical nature of this neighborhood.  There are new homes selling in Brookland and surrounding areas for close to $1M.  Not everyone wants coffee shops and cafes at their front door.  Some of the ppl on this board need to get off the computer and get in to the real world.  Brookland is a great neighborhood for those who want the lifestyle it offers ($1M or not).[/quote]

Please. [b]People ready willing and able to buy a home for $1 million, who have been approved by the bank and have the down payment in cash do not choose Brookland as their top pick. [/b]Also,  I've worked in Brookland for years and the prevalence of $1M home sales is microscopic, if not non-existent.  There was that one grey round architect's house that was 800k, maybe one other further north ...[/quote]

Agree.  Let's be realistic![/quote]
