I’m thinking L lives in a basement apartment for that price, which is fine and dandy but not a true comparison.

For serious? I used to live across the street from there and paid $1600 (a year ago) for 150+ sq. ft (which makes it about 30% larger). I didn’t think we were getting a deal at that place, but maybe we were?

I agree that it is a great location and, frankly, you learn to sleep through the drunks on Friday and Saturday.

I live on Columbia Rd & Mintwood (almost at Columbia & 18th). I’m 27, live with my fiancee and couldn’t ask for a better location. We don’t go out to the clubs everynight (we hit up 18th St once every two to three months it seems). We stay in many weekend nights in fact. I get annoyed at people talking about the neighborhood as though it is a nightmare to live in if you aren’t a college age frat boy. It definitely isn’t for everyone, but if you like the vibe, you shouldn’t let people scare you off just because it wasn’t for them.

Fair deal. It looks well-kept, and it’s about on par for 1BRs in AdMo/Kalorama/Dupont area. There are always going to be those of us who’ve lucked out and gotten better deals, but someone looking for a rental right now can’t count on that same luck.

Would be an alright deal for 1BR at that location, if it weren’t so tiny.

L., I’m thinking you got a great deal. 490 sq ft for 1,050 in adams morgan seems pretty great to me.

I pay about $650 less for maybe 50 less square feet two blocks away. It’s not a TERRIBLY overpriced place if it was a true 1br, but not for 540 sq feet.

It seems fair to me too given the location. 540 sq ft seems tiny for a 1BR – it looks like the LR only fits two chairs. But having a balcony, roof deck and your own W/D may make up for that.

(And, I love the real estate posts.)
