Just know - West also most likely not going to Deal.

16th Street Heights fits your requirements - West Elem is not failing and we are zoned for Deal. Last summer there were several mid-700s in the 3000 sqft range with multiple BRs. Not much today, but there could be soon.

Good chance it will not feed into deal and Wilson once boundaries are redrawn

This. A house recently sold in this area for under 800k and it was a detached house on a quiet street. They are out there but you need to move quickly. This house sold the first weekend it was put up for sale.



Op here... I think I know the house you were talking about, it was listed at 775. We almost put in an offer, but it felt too far.... I regret it now.


I actually live very close to this house (assuming we are talking about the same one) and this area is actually a pretty good location. Less than a mile to 2 metros, about a mile to a third metro; 2 close bus routes that you can take to the metros if you want; restaurants/shops in two clusters that you can walk to; good school district (and walkable to the elementary school, as well as pretty walkable to Deal and Wilson). If another house gets put up I would highly recommend considering it!

Rockville is VERY doable for 800k.

Glen Echo is great but the houses there are very small - you won't find two baths up in the $700Ks there either. Rockville is a totally different animal.

I think glover park is already there. We put a bid in a house under 7 and it got over 15 offers and went into the 9s. Wasn't even fully renovated and only had 1 bath up.


Sorry, I have to laugh. Just screams, "SUCKER!"


Who is the sucker? The pp or people buying a 1 bathroom house for 900k?? I'd think the latter.

You can do this but it will be a project and I highly doubt it will have a rennovated kitchen. But still if you can buy and then as you can afford it you can remodel
