[quote=Anonymous]OP Here.

Well the article was a nice read but gave me mixed feelings. Don't really want my shoes stolen.  Also , the specific apt building I"m considering is a mile away right next to Union Station, if that makes a big difference (?).

What I've read is that Capitol Hill is a great place for a family like ours, but there are streets/locales to avoid. And since I don't know where those strets are, I'm a bit worried.  It would be nice to wait until mid-July and take a trip out to house-hunt, but I'm also attracted to the idea of jumping on a great deal on this apt. And of course a trip out means either finding childcare for the kids here, or bringing them with, both of which are $$ and logistically tough.

The specific apt I'm looking at is $1700 for a large (900 sf) 1-BR, beautiful finishes (granite/stainless steel, etc), washer/dryer, pool/BBQ area on rooftop, gym, theatre, concierge. That seems like a great deal to me, and we will just barely qualify within the income restrictions. Maybe I should ask  my friend in Chevy Chase if he could take a look for me.
