I paid $1,000 a month for a one bedroom basement apartment in DuPont Circle in 1987 (and I was renting from a friend). DuPont was sketchier then (there were three murders within a couple blocks of my apartment in a three month period that year). Considering just general inflation, not to mention the run up in real estate prices around here, these rents don't sound that outrageous to me.

The justification for the prices is not defined by the cost to the seller, but by the market. It doesn't matter if you have an $8K mortgage. If there are more landlords willing to rent for less than there are renters, then no way in hell would you get $8K.

I'd keep looking in Brookland, but if you can't find anything, look in Petworth, it's not too hard to cross over via Harewood/Taylor or drop down towards Irving if you have a car. Also Woodridge has a lot of little bungalows and Fort Totten - you'd have the option of taking the red line.
