I’m confused. It’s JUST the basement that’s for sale? $420 K for a ONE BEDROOM BASEMENT! That is absolutely outrageous! For the entire house, that would be sweet. But you can get a 2 or 3 bedroom condo at that price, so unless it’s the biggest one bedroom basement ever, I’d say ‘Kiss my arse”.

Holy hannah that’s a lot for a basement condo!! I guess everyone has their pros and cons for a given housing situation, but I’d rather spend just a little more and buy a small house. And with a house you don’t have a condo fee either. You can definitely get renovated houses around here for under 500K still.

I met a guy that bought a basement condo in Col Hgts for 500K. I thought that was outrageous. And it is for me. But for people with the money, 420K may seem like a bargain.

Terrible deal. MAYBE worth 350K to the “I refuse to live north of Ust” person.

door to patio through bedroom is a bad way of living. I know. I did it for a couple years. No way is that a good deal. Also, kitchen seems small.

wow! that’s crazy. basement living is def. soul crushing. no way i’d buy below ground.

hell to the no

uh uh, no way, no how, no time. if i’m spending 400 large you better give me at least one sunbeam.

This is location. My partner and I paid a little more than this for a four bedroom three and a half bath rowhouse in Petworth and are loving it for location, quality of life, close to everything (we moved from Mt. Pleasant). DupULogan has its advantages but it’s nice to live a little outside that beltway.

“I’m a hipster”.

I wouldn’t be advertising that….

Very lovely. But hell no. And they’re stretching it by saying it’s in Dupont.

Forgetting the real estate pricing, you have to be really careful choosing a basement apartment or condo. Again, in my very lovely very clean building, we had a major issue with bug and rat infestations working their way inside through the basement patio doors. We also had a very large special assessment charged against all of the owners so that major problems with side yard storm drainage could be repaired in order to eliminate the indoor wading pools summer storms always brought to th basement dwellers. College friends of mine further confirmed that moisture is a huge issue in English basements when, at the end of a summer internship here, they discovered that between Memorial Day and Labor Day their luggage was overcome by black mold as was anything else they stored within closets. Paying $420 is quite a risk if you might end up having to mitigate moisture and vermin issues.

“The other thing is that, though PWorth is getting a lot of respect and new buyers, I think it’s still fair to say that Logan in considered by real estate folks to be more highly valued/desirable neighborhood. So, no you should not be paying that much for a one bedroom, and you really shouldn’t be paying that much in PWorth.”

PoP listed the property as being located at 2020 15th St. So that’s right on U Street and (obviously) one block from 14th. I think you must of assumed that any sampling PoP gives us is from Petworth – but that’s not always the case.

For the record, I do think that price is high. But I also wouldn’t be surprised if parking isn’t included.

Anon, Pretty sure there is a litsing. There are actually two on the street with signs right now. Both are on the north side of the street. The one I mentioned is actually on North Cap. It is at the corner of North Cap and Crittenden, the other is mid way up the street on the north side. Check them out! Come to our hood! Its generally pretty quiet crime wise and an easy walk to the metro.

i believe this house is divided into two condos. one condo is the top two floors while the second is the bottom two floors. might explain the $420k price. not sure if that makes it a better deal.
