Tues. Afternoon Rental Option

The Craigslist ad says:
“Brookland, NE DC. Wonderful 600 sq/ft basement studio apt. unfurnished now available. Carpeted, open living space, kitchen with all amenities, wlk/in closet, own w/d and a/c unit. 1/2 blk to bus, 6-7 blks to redline Metro. Near Catholic University, Turkey Thicket rec center, YES organic food market, Giant & Home Depot shopping center. Very convenient to Capitol Hill or Downtown DC.

I wanted to post this one because it seemed so reasonable. What do you guys think about $675 for a basement studio in Brookland?

Beautiful building, BOLD, which is a rarity in DC. Not sure how people think there is too...

Orange kitties are little psychos.
I have torties (and a tabby). Not quite as psycho.
it’s great if you want a more quiet area and you don’t mind being somewhat secluded from bars, shops, etc.
It doesn’t look very appealing to me (small, no light, no bedroom, etc) but if you’re on a say $35k salary and want your own place in a Metro-accessible location in NW DC, you probably wouldn’t be able to find anything better than this.
Brookland is in NE. And that’s a hefty walk to the metro. But it really would be hard to beat that price for an apartment in a livable area.
4 blocks is a “hefty walk” come on…
This is grad school housing all the way.
That actually looks on the low side to me. What does room in an group home go for in brookland? Surely $500+.
Yeah, probably around that I’d guess, but with a group house you’re above ground and have access to more space, even though a lot of it’s shared. So I wouldn’t expect a basement apt to be much more than a room in a group house, especially one like this that’s kinda dingy.
only thing worse than living in a hole is living in a hole in a boring neighborhood. Though I could see this working for a student who mostly just sleeps here.
Wow, depressing. And references are required?
On a positive note, the house is cute.
