[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]who would pay 1.5 million to live in an area that's so far out from the fun parts of the city that it's basically in the suburbs?[/quote]

You are either clueless or trying to be provocative. AU Park is the ideal combination of homes with yards, walkability, proximity to downtown, and the best schools in DC. Most homes go for less than 1.5 million, but the location isn't the reason for that (the houses just aren't that big). It isn't "the suburbs" by any stretch, and it's an extremely hot market right now.[/quote]

Gee, I sure am deluded.... or maybe I just know how to use Google StreetView, and I'm not utterly fucking blind as you appear to be? Here's the location of the house:

If I told you that was a picture of anywhere in the anonymous, soulless NoVA suburbs, you'd believe me.

Walkability is all well and good, but you have to have someplace exciting to walk to -- and while Glover Park isn't terrible or anything, it's nowhere near the U Street/CoHi/AdMo/14th St/Dupont/H St nexus where everything fun actually happens.

You can get the same schools for less money in plenty of other areas.

And yes, it is indeed an extremely hot market right now. A lot of people in DC have terrible taste, which is a big part of why NoVA is as bad as it is. But if you have this particular brand of terrible taste, just buy a similar home inbound for TJ out in VA for cheaper.[/quote]

You can't buy a house inbounds for TJ. There's no such thing. It's an application only high school.[/quote]

By 'inbound' I mean 'within the area where you're able to apply'. Passing the application is easy street for a bright kid and barely a formality.[/quote]

LOL. "Easy street." Now I know you're talking smack. Don't forget to pick up your Cava when you're running errands at the tragically hip Bed, Bath and Beyond. [/quote]

Jesus, are you some 40something who's driven through CoHi but has no actual experience of its nightlife? None of CoHi nightlife is centered around the metro stop; it's mostly over on 11th St, anchored by Wonderland and the like.[/quote]
