We are Old Money. Lots of luxuries. I have never ever used that term to search anything and neither have our set.
Agree. That’s not a word I would use much. And honestly, I don’t tend to like most of the things that would probably be found tagged with the word “luxury “. I think my /our word would probably be “nice”.
Exactly. Lots of other/more appropriate words that can be used, like “elegant”. I think of the word “luxury” as a new money term for people who don’t have money. I would suspect the new money folks are actually searching on words like “elite” or “rare”.
Except elegant means nothing in the context of most goods and services. You guys are all full of crap lol
+1 ^PP is trying too hard.

That aside, as a frequent traveler and many-time renter, "luxury apartments" and "luxury hotels" are also terms that pretty clearly distinguish between different types of living and vacation situations. You can second guess it and call people snobby or wannabes or whatever, but it's just the basic reality that googling "luxury apartment" in any metropolitan area is an excellent way to filter out trash and bias towards actual decent places to live. It doesn't actual mean you think you're living a luxurious lifestyle. Personally, it's how I auto-filter out the "fairfield inn" and "springhill suites" of the world when I travel.
I assure you these hits are not from the business analysts googling the term

No need to take it personally if you seek out “luxury” goods and services. It’s just a bit gauche.

There are small pockets of people in multiple cities in the US that are luxury-obsessed, but the majority of the population in those cities is not interested in the least.
So... none of this really matters, OP. Most affluent people I meet in Bethesda, Chevy Chase and NW DC are normal people without any sort of obsession around haute couture or very expensive brands of cars or watches, etc.

LOL, shows you that DC likes to overspend especially since it's not as wealthy as NY and West Coast
