“Prominently positioned on a corner lot in the heart of DC’s Petworth community, this vacant two-unit rowhome with Certificate of Occupancy offers over 3100+ square feet of flexible living for the investor, house hacker, and everyone in between. Light-filled with three exposures, the main residence features 4 bedroom, 3,5 baths, an open kitchen and dining area with a connected yet private living room, solid oak floors, fireplace, main-level laundry, and a spacious composite deck for outdoor living. Upstairs includes two primary suites with en-suite bathrooms, plus two additional bedrooms and a full hall bath. The lower level (approx. 1,100+ sq ft) is a fully separate 2BR/2.5BA unit with a complete kitchen, in-unit laundry, and an open, light-filled layout—well-positioned for strong rental income or a high-performing Airbnb just steps to Metro. Both units are separately metered and come with Certificates of Occupancy, offering true flexibility for investors or owner-occupants alike. Delivered vacant, the opportunity is immediate: live in one unit and rent the other, or maximize income from day one. Ideally located near Columbia Heights and Petworth Metro, with easy access to Giant, Target, Rock Creek Park trails, and neighborhood green spaces.” (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Seems like there’s been really low availability of Lyft, Helbiz, Lime scooters throughout most of NW DC. Can you run see what other people are saying?”
Are others noticing a shortage?
“Dear PoPville,
I’m wondering if you’d be interested in a post asking folks if their DC apartment complex pools are fully opened and staffed? Management at the Promenade in Adams Morgan, is claiming to residents (in both of their buildings) that the DC-area lifeguard shortage is ongoing and that they can only get lifeguards to split days between their two buildings. At the Promenade, our pool is only open Thu-Sat. They are not stating this in their website or giving residents any indication that it will open with posted hours anytime soon.”

“Dear PoPville,
Just wanted to write in here on behalf of my dad. He told me he was in Dupont on Thursday morning at around 8:00am getting his morning Starbucks coffee when a shirtless man with a hammer approached him on the sidewalk outside the PNC bank. The man said he had just gotten out of prison and could hit him with the hammer and no one would find out. My dad said he just told the man “Ok” and walked away. He didn’t seem very shocked by the whole fiasco but I am! Stay alert people!”
“Dear PoPville,
There’s been an abandoned car sitting on Virginia Ave SE between 6th and 7th street. There’s no parking along this stretch but there are three lanes of active traffic, one of which this car is blocking. It’s been there for at least two weeks. It had a ticket written right away but nothing has been done about it. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
My partner and I were driving home down North Cap near M St NE last night when that guy in the white car readers have written about in the past honked at us and yelled that our “wheel was wobbly” and we needed to pull over. It was pretty suspicious to begin with, but remembering your post about his antics made it way less stressful to blow him off and continue our ride.”
