Rosedale Housing Options (perusing the internet)

What's for sale and what's for rent. Even though these places are a few blocks away each other, the differences are striking. One block is mostly houses, while the other block is mostly small apartment buildings. One "revamped" and the other "kept up with". It's nice to see that the neighborhood can have diversity in affordable (by dc standards) housing stock.

Another neighborhood house rehab featured on Prince of Petworth

532 24th St was featured on the extremely popular blog, Prince of Petworth (pop) under the heading "Good Deal or Not" The comment section is probably a fair indicator of what district residents know (and don't know) about the Rosedale-Kingman Park community and is a good place to start educating the masses. From reading comments in terms of house purchasing, people want to compare Rosedale-Kingman Park to Trinidad in regards to amenities.

 

Rosedale Real Estate

The Rosedale real estate market has been featured in the past in the Washington Post as an "up and coming" area and a neighborhood where you can can get good bang for your housing buck. Now, a recent rehab project is  being featured on the Prince of Petworth blog under the Good Deal or Not subtitle, where individuals are encouraged to weigh in on if they think the property is worth the price.  The house was going for over 500k when it was first listed and the price has been dropped. An interesting twist includes that a bike is being offered with the deal, which is definitely something you don't see at the closing table often.  This is a great way to see what is being offered in the neighborhood without peeping through your neighbors windows.  The Redfin link to the property is here.

Is the Rosedale/Kingman Park Neighborhood a Good Investment?

Last Friday, PoP (Prince of Petworth) posted a reader's request from a perspective buyer looking at the Rosedale/Kingman Park neighborhoods and asked "... about the safety and quality of life in the Rosedale/Kingman Park area?"

The comments that followed from what appears to be some who know little about our neighborhoods are a bit disheartening, but those comments from folks who live in and know about our community are encouraging. So, go over to PoP, read about this inquirer and chime in on why the Rosedale/Kingman Park community is a great place to live and invest!
