Her overview is spot on. If you are feeling the vibe of how she presents living in DC--and how you are looking to live here, you have hit the right channel. Now, if you want to live in DC and not break the bank: move to Petworth, DC neighborhood or Brightwood Park, DC--and open yourself up to roommates! (You will enjoy alll of the things she talks about, but will not break your bank. I find that it's mostly southern transplants who don't understand roommates...but that's another post). She is spot on for her audience!! Great vid.
@truebetold65 theater, musicals, punk shows, bluegrass jams, beer & cider tasting, 7-course Chef's tasting dinners, DJ brunches, author talks, Shakespeare in the Park, Mixology classes, candle and soap making...etc, etc. LOLOL "mall walking and museums"--those are tourist activities or Sat AM with the kids. The interesting things to do in a city are never going to be in the tourist areas. C'mon, you know that.
I'm in Noma, construction starts at 7am 6 days a week and sometimes goes until midnight. If you wanna sleep in you better have ear plugs. But the amount of buildings going up and being planned is insane. Pretty much every empty lot has a huge project coming, but if you like transit oriented dense development and the perks/amenities it comes with, it's pretty nice.
@dudeonthasopha how would you rate the crime? I keep ready really sketchy things about shootings/break-ins. Is there an area of NOMA that’s generally safer?
I was a 19 year old in D.C in 1980 my first apt. was in Alexandia VA with two roomates because when I started at the FBI we only made $10500 a year and you could not live alone 😂 Now I live in Maryland side a little cheaper than Virginia and I am retired from government. When I came here no relatives I am from Philly that was one hour half away not to bad use to catch that Amtrak home on weekends. 😂 I built a life here got married had two kids now retired in a nice home in Matyland suburbs. Life takes you places you just got to be willing to go. The best thing about FBI they helped us with housing they had a spot where we can get roommates I got mind the first day on the job stayed at this hotel down the street on New York ave one night. Then I moved to Alexandia Va got the bus to the Pentagon got on the subway to Metro Station and went to work at 10th and Penn at 19 years old I had a career job with the government. Young people take chances😊
I was raised in DC. If you don't mind the high cost of housing and traffic, chose DC if not, the suburbs might be a better choice. No matter what you choice, If you are in the DMV you will have the best of everything because it's easy to find something to do as well as it's easy to get around by metro.
I saw your Tik Tok then I stumbled upon your video here on TH-cam and so happy I did! I'm moving to DC in the fall and this video is so helpful, thanks for sharing
Born and raised here… unfortunately still here. DC is wildin right now. Crime is at an all time high, regardless of neighborhood. Horrible school system and we’re still being taxed without Representation. It may look sweet but is all a façade. Move to Northern Va or MD. Thank me later.
Eastern Market is near the Eastern Market station (Pennsylvania Avenue SE between 7th and 8th Streets SE) on the Blue/Orange/Silver WMATA Metrorail lines.
Navy yard is an amazing neighborhood! Waterfront a block away and quiet most of the time. Theres also a thriving black and gay population! You truly cant tell if there are any right wingers out and about.
Just stumbled upon this video and I dont even live in the US nor do I plan to but the way you talk is so engaging so i watched anyways haha. And girl youre so pretty!!
Renovated, 3.5 bathrooms, with Great schools scores above 5, on a quarter acre, within 16 miles of the White House. If you see it, don't think about it. Just Buy whatever's on the market with lowest price and meets this filter. You won't regret it.
I like Eastern Market and wouldn’t mind living there. Walkable place.. it’s near Capitol Hill neighborhood. I used to work near Union Market/ Noma. Construction, construction, construction everywhere
You live in Virginia and now you want to live in DC.? What a joke. Such a downgrade. It's like living in Beverly Hills and wanting to move to Compton. Really? I guess you like the title of DC? So many of us like it that way. Oh, well. Peace ✌️
Compton was very much nice these days in full of Mexicans, and Virginia should be very much thankful, DC gave them a name because you are close to the Nations capital. That’s very much the reason why most people move there. 🤷🏽
@@truebetold65 George Washington was the first president who gave Washington, the name Washington after him, he just happen to be from Virginia, butt the land Arlington, Alexandra was given back to Virginia, and still Virginia is nothing more than a suburb of DC, Again DC is the the Nations Capital of the United States of America, meanwhile virginia is just a a** basic state. lol
@@truebetold65 Virginia is nothing more than a suburb of DC. Nobody cares about that old washed up history, The reason why people moved to the area is because of DC. You should be thankful 🤷🏽
I’m an Australian who lived at Eastern Market 2005-2006. I miss it and would move back in a flash. Except for the healthcare, political, and gun issues faced by the broader country. But Eastern Market is a gem.

What is so popular about DC? Please tell me. There is absolutely nothing to do or see after the mall walk and museums. Literally overrated. Boring.

Check out the Waterfront DC SW area. It’s near the end of an ambitious redevelopment , quite vibrant and convenient.

Do you have any concerns about safety in these different neighborhoods?
ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!!!!
good video. You mentioned farmers market Sunday, they recently expanded to both SAT and SUN. bonus !!
DC has first time home buyers program. Look into that.
Navy yard is an amazing neighborhood! Waterfront a block away and quiet most of the time. Theres also a thriving black and gay population! You truly cant tell if there are any right wingers out and about.

Ugh the states i desire to move to such as Alexandria, Arlington and DC areas the cost of living is a bit much😢

Nothing wrong with the US. Besides some bad apples.

What is orange man central mean?
Criminal activity.
Give yourself time. Rent for a year to feel the different areas. There’s choice galore as people are choosing to leave the city for nearby sites.

I was born and raised here and want to stay here
Columbia heights is also a good stop for the zoo. I like to take columbia heights to go to the zoo and woodley park to leave the zoo.
Thanks for the info on DC,, I didnt quite understand when you mentioned NAVY YARD,,can you explain what you were saying about the area,,
orange man = trump
@@chocolaterfever17 and what are you trash..orange is beautiful,,Trump handsome.
How could Navy yard be Republican? 😂 navy yard was The 5th most dangerous hoods in the entire country
I live on the Hill and Eastern Market is on the Hill so the vibe is the same for the larger area.
Back in the day Navy Yard was so sketchy and scary but I’m so glad they remodeled the area and it’s nice now
Still sketchy… wolves are in disguise now.
Google reviews aren't very candid because they delete all the reviews that are too honest.
Dc is straight up dangerous… embarrassing being the nation’s capital
So helpful!!!
Thanks
I am a Maryland side girl. Virginia too high
Does Maryland have public transportation?
@@katlennat1680 DC suburbs does, the rest of Maryland transportation is terrible, very much country you will need a car
Is orange man turmp?
