THE DC METRO RENT MAP: WHICH STOPS CAN YOU AFFORD?

[cam>]

1700 to be in the dead center of DC? THAT'S A BLESSING

 

[ZEupTWN]

Rent in the DMV too damn high

its the OTers who are getting raped for the most part


the fukk is the point of living in the city anymore

 

[2Quik4UHoes]

Bought a house around Fort Davis and I already see white girls jogging through the park...

As for OP's maps, those prices are way outta wack, especially places like McLean, VA where the median family income is around $150,000+ per year. Hell, that whole Silver Line section they mention is in Fairfax County which is one of the highest income counties in the nation. No way in hell you gonna find an $800 spot out there.



Anacostia is on their radar due to the simple fact that that area is near the water and the nice views of the city up on the hills.

Barry Farm is already on its way out the door in the name of "redevelopment".

Beyond Gentrification: Hundreds Of DC Residents Being Forced From Their Homes

Live in deanwood and yes cacs are moving in with the quicks.

Homes are being built just for them. House around the corner is going for $380k. My house was purchased for a full $100k+ less.

"They" slowly getting us gone.

shyt is crazy, it's like that Homeland Security office is looming over the Farms like a fort just waiting for the moment they can invade. If Black people with more wealth don't start buying up property the southside gon be Alexandria 2.0.

I always wondered, if they wanted to bring yts into the city so bad why not make Virginia give back Alexandria? I don't want to look at gentrification as only a negative thing though, it's just that the Black people with the means to influence this phenomenon aren't doing so. shyt's fukked up, losing a place in the city which is the center of influence in exchange for living outside of the city in a quiet suburb. It's like a modern day hoodwink.

Im calling serious bullshyt on some of these prices

You can't find an apartment period in the DC area for under $1,000 unless you're living in the projects

You can find 800-900 outside of DC. Only place in DC that got them prices is the hood.

fukk that. I been living suburban life and it ain't bad at all. Save a lot more, go into the city when I feel like it, then get the fukk out and it's quiet.

nobody wants a damn hood

only way black people would keep it black, is to get money and buy in early

it's not some magical thing that happens


white people start buying hood homes, fixing them up while not living there, waiting for more and more people to move, till they can buy them all

then they call the police on the daily, get nikkas arrested and locked up and a police presence.. which raises value... THEN they move in





black people can do the same thing.... they don't

there's only a limited amount of land on earth and a growing number of people... NOTHING is worth more than land in the long run

we'd best to realize that instead of worrying about RENTING someone else's land

 

[TRFG]

All

I pay $1950 in rent right now

 

[dennis roadman]

I'd be a Forrest glen ass nikka, I pay $800 now for 1400sqft

used to live right behind that station and it's not nearly that cheap

it was 1200 for a 2 bedroom tho, but i got that on a steal, i think someone was murdered in that apt or something and they were desperate to get someone in there

 

[IVS]

Where the fukk in Greenbelt, Glenmont, Wheaton, and Shady Grove are apartments that low? Even for a studio, they need to add a few hundred more for the avg apt in those places.

Real sh!t. I live in Wheaton, right by the train station, and rent damn sure is 1300+ round heya. Maybe those prices are from before they started flipping this area. I dunno.

 

[™BlackPearl The Empress™]

I actually think some of those listed prices are low.

 

[Colicat]

You can find barely affordable stuff around Shaw-Petworth, but it's hard as fukk. Only truly affordable apartments in DC are in Southeast and Northeast but cacs are quickly gentrifying those areas too. Right now is prolly the best time to move into places like Anacostia and Deanwood before too many cacs move in and price the regular folks out.

Man 10 years ago, nobody would dare suggest Anacostia....but I would actually say you are right....

My how things change

Bout 75% of this shyt is inaccurate as fukk

 

[#1 pick]

Even those wack-Arnold apartments in Falls Church cost 1,200. Something nice is 1.5k to 2.4k. They must be talking about being a roommate is 1.2k. I am back in VA(Fairfax Co) after nearly a yr in Bowie. Nothing is that cheap, even the below average shyt.

I know some of ya'll got deals but most places are too expensive.
