Lots of love for Petworth in the New York Times. Tell me something I don’t know!! But nice to see the recognition has spread. Thanks to the many many excited Petworthians who sent me emails. Here’s how they define the borders of Petworth:
“Petworth is bounded by Emerson Street NW to the north, Rock Creek Church Road NW and Spring Road NW to the southeast and south, the 18th-century Rock Creek Church Yard and Cemetery to the east and Arkansas Avenue NW to the west.”
I very much love DC, hopefully that is obvious, but this is giving me pause… Thanks to a reader for sending from Sotheby’s International Realty:
“Belize Sotheby’s International Realty is excited to offer this charming Caye Caulker oceanfront cottage! The home was constructed in 2012 and is being sold completely furnished. The property has split living quarters with two units. Consider living in one and renting the other! On the ground floor you’ll find a 1bed/1bath 650 sq.ft. studio. Up the flight of stairs you’ll have access to a 2bed/ 2 full bath apartment with 1200 sq. ft. including the 3rd floor loft. Tastefully decorated with a Caribbean flair and very unique items. Some reclaimed building materials including doors, decor and accent pieces have been gathered from throughout Belize.The sandy lot measures 99 x 147 and has both mature trees and new growth. Plenty of space for constructing additional indoor/outdoor living space! Very unique and a “must see” for anyone looking for a vacation home, rental opportunity or considering relocating. As an investment, you will gain instant equity, as the property was previously sold at a much higher price, and Belize is now more poplar than ever before! Close to amenities, in a quiet area, right on the water…what more could you ask for?! Caye Caulker has so much to offer with water activities including snorkeling, diving, fishing and wind surfing. On land, join in on birdwatching and enjoy over 100 species, some of which are rarely found elsewhere! Walking around town you’ll notice well over 2 dozen gift shops, many markets, and local artisans. When you are ready to dine, more than 25 restaurants offer Belizean and international cuisine, including fresh seafood with lobster, conch and red snapper as seasonal specialties. Belize is a very special place, and Caye Caulker is one of the many reasons why!”
The 3 bed/3 bath is listed at $489,000.

Adjacent to Gallaudet University, the NE DC neighborhood of Trinidad has benefited from the buzz and commercial activity around the nearby H Street NE corridor, which it is just north of. In recent years, the area has experienced new construction condos, as well as condo conversions of many of the plentiful post World War II-built brick four unit buildings. Investors have additionally been buying up the fee simple houses and, like much of the city, have been commanding steadily increasing prices over the past several years.
Real estate stats for September 2016 were just released. (more…)
