This apartment is located above the Petworth Metro at Georgia and Quincy, NW:
The Craigslist ad says:
“Set atop the Georgia Avenue / Petworth Metro station, Park Place provides unmatched convenience with underground parking, generous building amenities, street-level shops and services and new stores and restaurants nearby. You’ll find spectacular design, modern comfort, and an established, friendly community.”
Ed. Note: Park Place is a PoP advertiser. However, lots of people ask me about this property and bring it up when we look at other rentals nearby (like yesterday). So I figured it was time to give it its own post – does $1680 sound reasonable for a 1 bedroom here?

This apartment is located at 1801 Calvert Street, NW:
The Craigslist ad says:
“Very comfortable one-bedroom apartment in the heart of Adams Morgan. Separate living and dining areas, central air conditioning, washer and dryer in unit, private balcony with city views and a roof deck in the building.”
Does $1695 sound reasonable for this 1 bedroom with balcony?
Ed. Note: there is also a $35 application fee. Yesterday some folks thought that was an indication of fraud. I believe many apartments have a legit $35 fee. Of course you always have to be cautious with Craigslist.
