I find, in working with buyers, that most people don’t seem to want to be at street level because of privacy and security issues. I could understand a private entrace if there was a terrace there, but in this case, it’d seem to make more sense to have th entry from the building.

I’m surprised they called it “The Providence” since there is already a “Providence” condo building on Rhode Island Ave.

I did just list a unit in “The Lafayette” though…not the ginormous Lafayette that pairs with The Clara Barton, but the one that is on the National Register of Historic Places. You’d think there’d be some awareness of duplicate registered condo names, like there are for corporations.

Big time, I’d rather be on a higher floor.

@ET: I live in a condo in CH and we have a small “nook” that has become all of the above: a temporary place to take shelter from the rain, a temporary homeless shelter, a bathroom (#1 & #2, thank you), a temporary no-tell motel as evidences by the used condoms and wrappers (hey at least they’re being safe, right?) and a secluded place to shoot up. Yeah, I would avoid anything on the street and any place for someone to use as they wish.
