    kidding, right?

  • Is this for real? $4,000 for only 2 bedrooms?

  • Anonymous

    for $200 extra a month you can get parking!

    “Will Go Fast”

    Well, perhaps you underpriced it! Don’t settle, crank that baby upwards of $4k! Renters are desperate! Money, dude. SO MUCH MONEY!!@!!

    Hahahaha, what? I know somebody who rents a 2 br ONE BLOCK from here for $1700… Alert the door-to-door salesman. If the home at 2543 13th St, NW is occupied, it’s the biggest sucker in the world answering the door.

  • GDON? Firmly not a good deal.
    I’d like to know what this actually rents for.

    Yeah that’s $2k per bedroom…. for $2,000 you can a (very nice) 1br apartment…

    Also a 3rd bathroom in a 2bedroom place is totally pointless.

      First of all, you can’t rent a “very nice” 1 bedroom for $2k. You can get a small updated 1 bedroom in an old building. A very nice 1 bedroom in a Class A luxury apartment building will cost at least $2,500.

      Second, you need a third bathroom because it a three story house. Would you want to walk up two flights of steps every time you had to take a piss? I didn’t think so.

      Lastly, the rent is clearly above the market rate for Columbia Heights. They might get lucky in Logan or Dupont, but you’d have to be a moron to not figure out the mortgage on the same rowhouse is probably around $2,400 a month.

        You can get easily get nice 1 bedrooms for $2k if you shop around, I have a 1 bedroom in Kenyon Square including parking for $1920 with hardwood floors, granite, etc.

    The ad doesn’t state that it is, but is it possible that this could this be a furnished rental? The price would still be a little high, imo, but I could see that as a realistic starting point for a negotiation if it were.

    If it’s unfurnished, though, it’s just way over the top.

    This has a lot of stuff, but it’s a ridiculous price. Sacrificing a bathroom, you can get a two bedroom in a luxury building like Highland Park for a lot cheaper. Also there’s no square footage, which might explain the price, but again, you can get a smaller but still very nice place with comparable amenities for much cheaper. Parking is overpriced as well, most places around Columbia Heights are $120/mo.

    I’m a landlord in this general neck of the woods, and I’m actually glad to see the incredulity in these posts. As much as I would like it to be so that this is a market rent, it ain’t.

    Incredibly convenient to Euclid and the vibrant divebys.

  • Southwest

    Listing needs more abbreviations
