That's true. If you're paying $2,000 a month for 2/2 that's a great deal anywhere in D.C. proper. I guess I'm saying people cast judgement on new, small apartments with nice finishes when they've never really checked the prices.

They have 2/2 950 SF units on the 2nd and 3rd floor right now for $2700-3k here.

Do you have in unit W/D or central HVAC?

Yes! And a parking spot though our street is never crowded.

I should also add I’ve always had a better experience with a landlord who owns their unit than corporate.

On top of everything else, the buildings owned by big corporations seem to nickel and dime you, plus it’s much more difficult to contest your security deposit deductions. Happened to us in our last apartment, a more dated but still corporate-owned building, and it was an unpleasant experience.
