$990,000
$1.5M
I’m thinking $2,199,000.00
i have no idea, but i looked at an apartment directly across the street from that house which, if it hadn’t just been renovated on the inside, looked like the rent was WAY over what it was worth for that neighborhood.
also, i’d say it’s *barely* considered columbia heights, with Georgia Avenue just a few blocks away. well, columbia heights coffee is around the corner, along with RedRocks, so maybe it isn’t such a bad location after all. still, it’s a stretch to say it’s in the “new, trendy” section of the neighborhood.
i’d guess $895,000. that’s some sort of shelter / halfway house next door attached to the church.
650k.
I think some of the other numbers are still riding the crazy wave of days past.
$2,295,000 is my guess.
$1.25 million
$1.3 Million
$1.1 million
