I was (and still am) amazed at how many buildings in DC still have electric included. Not having an electric bill adds up to some serious extra money in your pocket.

I used to live in that building in a basically identical unit and paid $1500 about 3 years ago. So, I think $1750 is about market rate now, maybe a little under. Also, The building is old and this unit does not look updated, which drops the price some. The pool amenity is great. I also like that you can rent the party room in the basement and have 100+ people over, no problem. The gym is terrible but Gold’s Gym is a block. Since all utilities are included, I was amazed at how much discretionary income I had when living here and splitting the cost with my girlfriend.

why do you say that? Some property owners want to be able to just pay their costs to avoid the income generated from being a landlord impacting their taxes. If they simply want to pay down principle, it’s realistic rent.

Something isn’t right. Given today’s rental market that owner is short at least $500/month.

That’s a good deal. For that price you get an efficiency with no parking in the building next door.

Now that’s a lie. There is inside parking and outside. No one gets two spots. Most people don’t have one.

I looked at buying a place in this building and they are ripping you off on parking since each owner is given two parking spots.

Reads as a great deal to me. Much nicer pool than the one my building has.

A parking space for $70/month sounds very reasonable.
