Midcity DC - Neighborhood or Venn Diagram?
Tuesday, July 27th, 2010 at 8:10am. 183 Views, 0 Comments.
Interesting post on Housing Complex titled Neighborhood-making in Midcity, about the efforts to brand the 14th and U Street corridors as Midcity. The neighborhood business association has landed a $200,000 grant from the city to further these efforts.
The Midcity neighborhood is bounded by 16th Street to tthe west, Florida Avenue to the north, 7th Street to the east and Rhode Island Ave to the south.

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.

The FHA approval list changes routinely, these are selected U Street Corridor FHA approved developments at the time of this posting:

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…
