Maybe a few years ago. Prices in the livable parts of the city have gone up dramatically the 2 years. Currently, 1000 sqft in Hampden,Remington,Charles Village, etc. is gonna run you around 300k

300k is definitely the norm. But there’s a reasonable looking 2bd 900sqft for 180k listed up above Wine Source and Hampden, and similar sized houses in Remington have gone for $175-$200k in the last couple months.

Doable but would make me housepoor! I need to think more about it! Thanks for the advice!

I'm not recommending you to buy a house above your rwnge just adding to the conversation about housing prices in those neighborhoods. I'm assuming you have a sufficient down payment for the price range you mentioned. You may be better suited renting a room or cheaper apartment and adding to your savings. With interest rates where they are, it might make sense to wait for rates to come down in the next 2-3 years as it could save you a significant amount in the long run of it's a place you plan to live in for 10+ years
