Im leaving America due to the fact you walk away like i did when the attacker came out of nowhere. Hit me, you can't self-defense, touch the attacker, or you yourselves end up in jail or court i walked away drank coffee smoked a cigarette i didn't even touch him. I stay up from 11am to 3am due to bed ridden mom, who is a fall risk, and i was supposed to be her caretaker and pets. I hear my step dad at 1 or 6 am stumbling or falling he holds onto the walls to stand up he he has strokes or seizures he has to cook in a chair at the range and he leaves the oven on their forgetful im their lifeline and help out with everything but i get screwed.

4:59 "Doing it in the park Doing it after dark, oh yeah Rock Creek Park, oh, yeah Rock Creek Park" i couldn't resist i'm from the old school lol

GREAT INFORMATION

I would take the house in MD with nooo hesitation. If I can afford a home at that price point then can afford a vehicle lol

I love my city but even if I had $1,000,000 I wouldn't want to stay in DC anymore. No where to park, $100 dollar tickets and new people everywhere. The traffic is terrible. New people keep coming but there are no new roads to accommodate the new traffic. Maryland isn't much better. If you want more for your money go down south. NC, SC, GA but DC and MD are not the place to be especially if you are a native. Our city is gone, this is something else. R.I.P. CHOCOLATE CITY #Gentrificationiscolonization

Maryland hands down!

I'd take Maryland all day.

My dream is to buy land and build a family complex

Thank you so much for this, I’m looking around for condo as soon as my house sold. I need this as pro and con of buying condo in DC or Orlando FL

DC is in Maryland🤨. That's like saying Manhattan or New York. But for game sake, I'd do Columbia, MD.

Ahh no on the first one. I stopped watching after that

No kids = DC, kids = Maryland or Virginia.

lol..we are slave in America what? Americans scamming Americans

You know what u can get for 765,000 in Carolinas. Bigger house than that

DC has school options and a lot of really good charter, public and private schools. I absolutely love DC schools.

I love how you showcase DC. I’m always like wow I did not know that was there. I don’t think I would ever sale my DC home.

My heart says DC but my pockets says MD 😭

I think the basement floors in the Maryland home has some kind of resin or epoxy finish. I think the blue colors in the floors cheapens the look and doesn't go with the rest of the home's design. They should've continued with the heated tile flooring down there.

Architect here. Seems like a lot of missed opportunities. Some here quickly provided below: 1. Back yard only accessible through a bedroom, that is insane… 2. Even a small deck on second level overlooking the back yard would have been most welcomed and then outside stairs to the yard level below. 3. On second floor rather than having just a very small balcony (unusable) and next to it a very small space for only two chairs, why not extend the balcony for the whole width of the apt.? This would render a more usable balcony while not really compromising the actual usable living room space. 4. On third floor, that central space with no natural light which you stated was yet another living room or possibly an office of sorts; perhaps consider one or two skylights to bring in natural light, making it feel less claustrophobic once the bedroom doors at each side of it are closed. 5. Consider offering a spiral stair from third up to the roof for a rooftop space; even if small, something is better than no rooftop space. The townhome feels very constrained and hence exterior decks to the front and back at second level along with some rooftop space would make the home feel less constrained, offering areas where the occupants can feel relieved by way of access to the exterior. 6. Depending on zoning and site constraints, a front porch would have been great in order to provide a buffer between the living area on ground floor and the street and public view.

Nice to see you’re playing OutKast in the background. That’s a good sign

I’m black, so yes, we would be getting curtains for the house with the wall of windows 😊. Thank you for showing us these 2 lovely homes 🫶🏾

The recessed hood in the house located in Silver Springs, MD may be good for aesthetics, but in terms of kitchen cleanliness and the funtuinality of the exhaust ventilation system that pulls the airbourne debris from food cooking on the gas range out of the house to the outdoor air, two problems may srise. They are as follows: 1) The area of the kitchen ceiling that surrounds the perimeter of the recessed hood will most likely become stained with the debris rising up from the food that cooks on the gas range. 2) The necessary "induced draft" (pull) from the exhaust fan which is part of the hood exhaust system will need to be quite high due to the significant vertical distance from the gas range to the ceiling. That distance requires a higher horsepower exhasust fan motor to create the necessary induced draft (pull) needed to exhaust the cooking debris. The higher horsepower motor will cause a louder acoustic signature (noise) to be emitted from the hood exhaust system. For those two above-listed reasons, in my opinion, it would have been better to build the gas range into the same wall that the double ovens are located in. Doing so, would have allowed a ventillation hood duct system to have been built into the wall to extend down to be right over the range. The debris from cooking food would rise up to the entrance to the ductwork easier than having to rise all the way uo to the ceiling. Less induced draft (pull) would be needed because of the ductwork extending down closer to the gas range. Basically, the exhaust fan would be much closer to the range because the exhaust fan in residential kitchen exhaust systems is built into the ductwork right at the inlet section of the ductwork which is the part of the ductwork closest to the gas range. Because the exhaust fan motor would be closer to the gas cooking range, the fan motor would be a smaller horsepower rating. Therefore, it would emit less noise relative to an exhaust fan located above the ceiling. The outlet section of the exhaust ventilation ductwork is located on the roof of the house. I appreciate the work that you execute in creating your videos, sir. Your diligence is really nice!

Hello Mr. Bashir! Great video as usual ! My husband and and I look forward to your videos every weekend.

Come on! The Maryland house lost me at the “primary” suite. That closet situation was a major let down (3 rotten eggs) I could fix the basement. Also, about those property taxes. As a DC homeowner I never pay tickets that would amount to double my property taxes, so that was a false equivalency. Any way, overall I enjoy watching your channel. I look forward to your tours and reviews. Thanks.

The first house in DC is beautiful. My personal thoughts are for $1.2 million dollars, it shouldn't be a row home and they should make sure they have grounds cleaned (leaves swept) for appeal when trying to sell a $1.2 Million home. I LOVE the house in Maryland! I would figure out how to put some type of doors on the closet-type space near the livingroom. They could have had the basement floor black and grey vs blue (that blue is a really specific color). Something more neutral. But that wouldn't stop me from buying the house. Love all the windows but would need to install window treatments for the lower windows. I would definitely cut that tree down in the backyard. I think this house is priced appropriately.

One million would go further in Maryland obviously but man, I'm not a house person so I'd put that million on a nice condo, loft or townhome where I have limited things to do. Mowing lawns isn't my thing. Plus accessibility, walk-ability and convenience matters to me.

Floors are still creaking? Are all of the floors in these nw dc houses creaking like this?

overpriced property

Who tf wants to live in dc or Maryland. Virginia is way better than both

It's called a wet room.

yeah but then you gotta lice in MD lol

I feel like both areas are just so expensive. Especially when I can move out of state and get so much more for the same price

The decline of my hometown…this is becoming a place for a certain salary like NY and Cali. I make an okay living wage, but they’re moving us Washingtonians out year by year with these high rent new buildings.

Hope you had Happy Holidays. I liked the house especially the kitchen/familyroom area. Has plenty of room without being overly large. kitchen had good amount of storage & counter space to work with. nice & bright

The word of the day, everyday, is sirens.

absolutely not

Honestly most of the homes in the DC northern Virginia and Maryland area are ugly. You can get more aesthetically pleasing and cheaper homes in places like NC, GA or TX with more space.

Maryland! I have cars to get around and prefer to do my own upgrades.

A city of bug people, that's what DC has become. This is not DC from the 90s and early 2000s when the city was booming. The Capital One Arena investment will accomplish nothing.

Why Germantown? Would have been nice to compare $300k in DC vs. Baltimore. Compare city to city versus city to suburbs. But it is a no for me for any of the options. Wouldn't be willing to compromise on any of those options.

No wonder a lot of people retire to the south, more bang for the buck

HOA 438/ month total rip off

I can’t buy ANYTHING where bars on the windows is necessary.

Looks like a run down area, guess this is what they mean when they say,location location location. Just a awful looking area, don’t want to be carrying my groceries into this house 😖👎👎👎

For almost 1 million dollars house not impressed. Can't stand just walking into a room as soon as I open the door. Also the neighborhood and curb appeal is not desirable 😢

Built in 2025?? So is only a couple of days old?

This is a great content as it shows the difference of values in the DMV area Although I am currently living in Korea, as a former Virginian who can’t wait to go back home, I easily pressed that subscribe button Keep up the good work!

Awh this video, hey Wayne- Friends of Anacostia Park staff member!! My kid’s old school is around the corner closer towards Penn Ave so that’s a good perk, plus the subway is right across the bridge. The first house.. just gorgeous and cute.

Where can I find both space and convenience?
