Not a good deal.

As a renter, I got so annoyed when everything started going condo 3 or 4 years ago. Now I just laugh at people losing their shirts.

Yes, I’m small like that.

agree with Ken…checked these out – poor workmanship and quality. very tight/cramped and not much attention to detail.

not a good deal. 1 BD, 1 den and less than 700 sq. ft.? that doesn’t sound cool. i live in a 1 bd, 1.5 bath and it is 864 sq. ft.

Not purchased, but I’m looking to buy right now. And older properties are consistently better buys than these new constructions. Yes, DC is expensive, but these new constructions are comparatively utter rip-offs.

I wonder how many of the people that comment on high prices have actually purchased property in the last two years

I went in t5hese and was not impressed — small and low quality I thought — esp for the high price — but that’s my two cents

my cousin said that banks are not offering loans to move into new construction condos unless they’re mostly sold. Anyone heard about this?

I haven’t seen a really good deal for new constructions. Renovated condos in older buildings with everything (minus the stupid iPod dock) are selling for less these days. I guess some people are willing to pay the premium to be the first tenants in these flimsy, crappy towers.

Square footage a little low on the PH units….
