3.5% Down Opportunities in DC's Mount Vernon Triangle Neighborhood
DC condo buyers can qualify for 3.5% down mortgages at FHA approved buildings. This represents a major savings over the 20% of more down payments required for condos with conventional financing.

DC Condo Developments over Restaurants

What could be better for a busy Washingtonian than coming home from work and having a friendly place in the building to have an adult beverage and dinner? While everyone makes fun of Norm on Cheers.....there is something to be said for having a seat at the bar where everyone knows your name!
A trend that is gaining momemtum here in the District is to develop condo buildings with ground floor retail and dining options. While residential over retail won't work on the leafy streets of Kalorama, it certainly does in the the more urban neighborhoods of the District. Developments with this configuration are proving very popular with their residents.
While there are many other developments in the District with ground level dining, here are some…

You work hard, so life outside of work should be fun. Why not live in a fun place? The Whitman, located across the street from the DC Convention Center tops the list of fun DC condo developments.

A Downtown Address with Suburban Conveniences
Who says that urban living involves a fourth-floor walk-up after schelping groceries on the Metro in a rainstorm......With a Safeway, Starbucks, Busboys and Poets, Results Gym, hardware store and more, City Vista brings the conveniences of the suburbs to a Downtown location.
City Vista's location on 5th St between K and L is at the edge of Downtown redevelopment, with plenty of urban grittiness in the area. The upside is that this location is just two blocks from the Convention Center and four blocks from Gallery Place. With plenty of available vacant land, it is easy to imagine a not so distant timeframe when City Vista serves as the anchor of a complete neighborhood makeover. City Vista weighs in…

Walking is the essence of the DC urban lifestyle. It doesn't matter if you are a K Street attorney with a pair of cordovan Allen-Edmonds oxfords or a lobbyist adorned in a pair of Jimmy Choo pumps and a secret pair of New Balance running shoes stashed away for the daily commute.........walking around the District is part of your daily routine.

Birth Announcement - DC Condo Boutique
Thursday, November 5th, 2009 at 12:04pm. 146 Views, 2 Comments.
I am pleased to announce the arrival of Washington DC's newest real estate website, the DC Condo Boutique. The site went live on November 4, 2009 at 9:22 PM EST. It was a relatively brief and uneventful period of propagation after the domain name servers were updated at 7:30 PM EST.
The DC Condo Boutique is a hefty entrant into the Washington, DC real estate cyberspace, weighing in at 202 pages and 210 snippets. The proud dad has a bit of a sore wrist, tired eyes and some worn keys on his MacBook Pro as a result of the fast and furious pace of development.
A huge shout out to the staff at REW for their patience, guidance, knowledge and assistance throughout the development of this baby. Thanks Garet, Ross, Gerry, Nick and Morgan for your excellent work. …
