8/2/12 11:45 AM
It goes without saying that some areas of the United States got hit harder by the housing crunch than others, but 24/7 Wall Street says that in these ten cities, the price of a house is cheaper than many new cars.
Brooks Brothers' Georgetown store: no falling toilets
10/7/11 1:31 PM
Brooks Brothers says its plaid, pinstriped faux-home store design was inspired by the fact that the building was once a residence. But one former resident of 3077 M St. says living there wasn't terribly Brooks Brothers-y.

Here's statistical proof that your rent is skyrocketing
9/14/11 2:14 PM
The first thing you noticed when you moved to Washington (or out of your parents' house) was probably that rent is really high here, and that every year it seems to climb higher. Now we have the statistics to prove it.

When it comes to office rent, K Street's got nothing on Penn. Ave.
9/8/11 1:21 PM
K Street may be the lobbyists' domain, but Pennsylvania Avenue NW is where the real money is in D.C. According to a study of the most expensive commercial real estate locations in the nation, the street ranks fifth with an average rent of $80 per square foot of office space — almost 50 percent above the average market rate.

Come to D.C. for the entry-level job, stay for the pricey apartment
8/30/11 1:15 PM
It's no secret that D.C. is becoming a lot younger, but according to a new, self-promotional survey, it's also a good place to get started right out of college. Using data on housing costs and the number of entry-level jobs, the rankings by CareerRookie.com and Apartments.com placed the District seventh in the country. But the average rent for a one-bedroom apartment — $1,679, they claim — was the highest in their top 10, which must mean we have an obscene number of low-paying jobs for smart young people.

Ted Leonsis is single-handedly keeping our housing market afloat
8/15/11 5:16 PM
Recent signs of slippage notwithstanding, Washington's housing market is known for being more resilient than most. Perhaps we have Caps owner Ted Leonsis and his fellow-billionaires to thank. He's one of several homeowners whose purchases made CurbedDC's list of the top five sales in the area for the first half of 2011.

The way things cost around here, you'd think we were living in Hollywood — without the palm trees and gorgeous weather.

This is what a 'hipster' apartment building on H Street looks like, apparently
2/21/12 4:55 PM
The corridor's boom continues with "AVA H Street," an apartment complex that won't be anything like its buttoned-up counterparts in Northwest.

You live in one of America's best cities, if money's no object
9/21/11 12:45 PM
When it comes to national rankings of U.S. cities, D.C. and its surrounding cities are usually lumped together. But the latest page-view bait from Businessweek about "America's 50 Best Cities" singles out Arlington and the District separately, placing both in the top 10.

Cigar bar planned for Farragut will reek of political deal-making
9/8/11 2:19 PM
There's no shortage of cigar bars in D.C., but one expected to open in Farragut this winter hopes to become the place for political deal-making. Located at 18th and M Streets, Puff Restaurant and Lounge will be an all-in-one private club, restaurant, barbershop, dry cleaner, and car rental service. Memberships start at $1,000 and top out at $10,000. But more than anything, it's a place where politicians and fat-cat lobbyists can get halitosis together!

Target in Georgetown? A retail shakeup is brewing at G'town Park
9/1/11 5:25 PM
What will happen to the Shops at Georgetown Park, the only mall in the neighborhood? Barnes & Noble is on its way out, and last we heard, it was being replaced by a tenant "paying $65 per square foot." Target may be moving into the mall's basement.

This recession is forcing us to move back in with our parents
8/18/11 12:40 PM
We knew this recession was rough — the murder-suicides, lost libidos, ruined marriages, and the hope that Sticky Fingers will somehow save us — but we never thought it would come to this. We, the grown men and women of Washington, have become so poor that we're moving back in with our parents.

You won't recognize the Old Post Office once Trump is done with it
8/1/11 10:43 AM
Up until now, one of the advantages of living in the Washington, D.C. area has been the ability to live a relatively Donald Trump–free life. Sure, he'd show up now and then — like the time he pretended to run for president — but the buildings have been pleasantly free of gaudy gold plating.

Beltway housing prices are complete opposite of rest of nation
7/26/11 1:32 PM
Remember the recession? The economic collapse of 2009, caused by rapidly deflating housing prices? Since that time, housing prices have yet to stabilize — except in the D.C. area. Yay us.
