DC Homes are Smallest in Nation
Thursday, November 10th, 2011 at 8:40am. 574 Views, 0 Comments.
In a recent study conducted by Realtor.com, Washington, DC ranked first in the nation for having the smallest size homes. The study calculated the median square footage of all the homes listed for sale in September, 2011.
DC homes weighed in with a median home size of 1,000 sq. ft. and a median lot size of 2,375 sq. ft. Rounding out the top five smallest median home sizes were Hawaii, Michigan, Iowa and Ohio. The DC top ranking makes sense as this study utilized state data rather than just urban cities or Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs).
Many of the smaller condos in the District are located in more venerable residential neighborhoods like Foggy Bottom and Dupont Circle with larger units more readily available in neighborhoods like Logan Circle…

In a city where everyone seems to be out walking their dog, why is it so challenging to find a decent pet-friendly condo?
Pet-friendly is one of those terms that seems to have a different meaning to each and all and it is almost impossible to come up with a generic definition. Many condos are marketed as pet-friendly, sometimes it means that there are no restrictions, in other instances there is a weight limit or breed restriction.
If you are a dog owner in the market for the perfect DC condo, our team has experience assisting pet owners and can help you laser focus your search. To get started, here are some pet-friendly DC condo developments:

11th Street DC Real Estate
Friday, February 25th, 2011 at 5:33pm. 1126 Views, 0 Comments.
While 11th Street NW doesn't get as much ink as other higher profile DC numbered streets like 14th and 16th Streets, it is awakening in the Logan, U Street and Columbia Heights neighborhoods. A recent NY Times article described the 3200 block of 11th Street in Columbia Heights as the "Hip Strip." The article included a slide show featuring the hot 11th Street entertainment spots including the Wonderland Ballroom, Meridian Pint, Room 11 and Bloombars.
In the last five years 11th Street has come alive as a residential corridor with several new developments including:
Logan Circle: The Eleven, Lofts 11, Logan Park, The Providence and Renaissance at Logan
U Street: 2121 11th, The Beauregard, The Fillmore, The Lacey, The Lincoln

DC Pioneers Housing Trends
Monday, January 3rd, 2011 at 3:15pm. 818 Views, 0 Comments.
The results of a recent survey on home design trends by the American Institute of Architects reads like a play book for recent DC new construction. It is refreshing to see several of the trends that we all appreciate about the DC market becoming more prevalent across the nation. Community design trends that are gaining in popularity include infill development, access to public transportation, mixed-use facilities, and dedicated open space.
Here in the District, it is easy to trace the development that followed the extension of Metro lines throughout the city. The vast swaths of vacant land created by the 1968 riots provided a critical mass of infill space that have allowed for neighborhood transforming development in the Columbia Heights and U…
