[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, thanks all for your feedback.  We will definitely look at Mt. pleasant and CH.  Perhaps Bloomingdale too.

Quick question, how do you all apartment hunt?   I've heard craigslist, trulia, and mrishomes listed in this thread.   The latter two seem remarkably user friendly but both currently [b]only show 1 apartment in Mt pleasant, so maybe there's not much stock there[/b]?  Any other thoughts/suggestions once again appreciated, you guys have been the best![/quote]

Mt Pleasant has low turnover and it's harder to find apartments there compared with these other neighborhoods - especially rowhouses and rowhouse converted condos which tend to be owned by individuals who don't put much effort into marketing (because they don't need to).

Definitely Craigslist, also the mount pleasant forum, and there is a yahoo group... you can do those commercial sites too, like trulia. I'd also contact Nest DC (property manager) and see if they have anything.

[b]It is easier to find a place in the larger buildings, like the Park Monroe or the Woodner, both on 16th.[/b]

Individual owners don't often use realtors to rent places out the way they do in New York - Craigslist is probably the single best method for Mount Pleasant apartments.

I have to 2nd any rec for one of the buildings on 16th.  The architecture of the surrounding buildings (the embassies and churches) is magnificent, as is the view, as is the access to Meridian Hill Park.  It's nicely walkable to U St. as well as Adams Morgan & Mt. P.

OP, when are you coming to DC?  Hopefully after this soggy rain goes away.  If so, take the PPs suggestion to heart and take a walk down 16th from Park or Lamont to U St.  Mt. Pleasant then Adams Morgan will be to the West, Columbia Heights to the East, U St. to the South, and below that you split between Dupont and Logan Circles.  From the top of the Hill you can see the Monument.  You'll have those gorgeous views every day.  You'll remember DC always as an incredibly beautiful time in your life.
