I love your videos! I love that you are not only showing us the great properties, in great detail, but that you are also showcasing and informing us about the neighborhoods the properties are in and near.
I understand that in some instances there are some who want to design their own closets. But at that price point can't you at least give a person a wooden rod to work with in the meantime. The moving process is stressful enough then I got to take a trip to Home Depot or The container store on top of that so my clothes won't be on the floor.
Great post. I have a question. In DC is it possible to demolish an existing property and build a new house/townhouse in neighborhoods such as West Village or Kalaroma? I ask because homes in these neighborhoods are a bit outdated when it comes to curb appeal and floor plans.
The place looks nice the only downside in the first building i see is the high windows they look to be about 4-5 feet high. Is there an elevator in the building ? Is the second unit a townhouse or a condo as it shows mailboxes Unit A and Unit B that would either make this a duplex or a condo and not a townhome or townhouse
House Number 3 the best! Of course none of the homes are insulated from exterior sounds & the running of the AC condensers. The Condos more of a problem with the roof tops being so close to other roof tops. This is city living so one would have to adjust. Amazed that the condos and townhouse with the choice of windows are not better insulated for exterior sounds and possibly winter weather. Condos had very limited closets, no entry closet and to enter directly to the kitchen is a turn off -- seemed more like a efficiency apartment to me. A lot to pay for a place to sleep, cannot see the condos as a long term investment into your retirement years, too many steps.
This is obviously a personal opinion, but I honestly just don't see any longevity in any of these new D.C. condos. For example, all of the stairs and lack of elevators mean that these units are for young people, which instantly limits the number of buyers if/when you want to sell. Next, these condos have such a rigid design that nearly ANY change in life circumstances (like having a baby or even an elderly relative move in with you) would require you to move. Another example, parking. If you and your partner have 2 cars when you move in, but later want to upgrade to an SUV, one of you is going to have to park on the street. I really just don't get the appeal.

valid points about the insulation and layout of the condos. i guess those are trade offs for city living.
Home #1 that wasnt a closet, that was a skinny hallway 😂
Home #2. There are way too many steps. Without a real living room.
