I’ve always been curious about this building located at 1701 Park Road, NW in Mt. Pleasant.
The Craigslist ad says:
“On-site Laundry, On-site Manager, Exercise Room, Bicycle Storage, High-Speed Internet, Hardwood Floors, Microwave, 9′ Ceilings”
You can find more info and photos here. Does $1100 sound reasonable for this efficiency?
This apartment is located at 7th and Jefferson St. NW:
The reader writes:
“I live at 7th and Jefferson St. NW and I’m thinking of renting the unit, I work in Alexandria and its a long drive. It’s a one bedroom unit, 600-700sf, I’m not sure exactly. The building was renovated in 2006, I’ve been the only one to live there. New kitchen appliances and countertop, dishwasher, washer and dryer in unit, hardwood floors. About equal distant between the Georgia Ave and Fort Totten Metro. One block to Kennedy St, 3 Blocks to Georgia Ave. One block to two bus lines. Ample parking, quiet street.
Anyway, my question is what people think of the rental market up north? I was thinking around $1200? Also, has anyone had any experience with using a management company for a single rental. And lastly, if anybody has any thoughts on accepting section 8 vouchers from tenants?”
Personally I think $1200 for a one bedroom that far north and that far from the metro is way too high an asking price. I’d think that $900 would be much more realistic. What do you guys think?

The craigslist ad says:
“Roomy, bright, 1 bedroom English Basement available immediately. Includes full size W/D, DW, gas fireplace, DirecTV w/ DVR, and WiFi. Only additional cost is electric.”
Does $1585 sound reasonable for this 1 bedroom English basement apartment?

We’ve definitely looked at this house before. I’ve always admired that balcony up top. So do you think $1225 sounds reasonable for this 1 bedroom?

The reader writes:
“I found a Craigslist ad that I think would make a good Rental GDoN. I was kindof amazed at the price – $1250 for a 1br right by the U St Metro. I feel like there must be a catch…”
Is there a catch? Is $1250 for this location too good to be true?
This another rental on the red line but I promise to hit a green line spot tomorrow! This one is located at “Rodman Street NW at Connecticut Avenue NW”:

Does $2099 per month sound reasonable for this 2 bed/1.5 bath?
I don’t think I’ll make this a regular feature unless folks want it. But walking down 13th just north of U Street I saw this rent sign and thought it was a pretty good deal. Though I really don’t know if I could live in a basement again. I lived in one once and never knew what time it was…
For this sweet location does this sound like a good deal – $1525 per month.
