apt. help...

[redsock]

While I could also post looking for job help, yes, my life really is this stressful at the moment, I was wondering if any folks know of affordable places coming up around august 1 in either the ok hoods of the district, or the wish we were a city parts of Arlington. Yes I have a car, so parking is an issue. Yes I am poor, but trying to remedy that. Yes, I want to live by my self...why am I so needy?
 
 Thanks...any help is much appreciated.

If you want to live alone in N.W. you are going to have to spend at least $800 a month.
 
 
 We got our new apartment from the Washington Post. We were the first people to look at it and put the deposit down then and there. The renting market in DC is not as bad as it was 5 years ago, but there are not 100s of vacant apartments.

Care to share how much you will charge?

With a car, you're probably better off looking for a place in MoCo or Arlington. Otherwise, you'll either have to pay for parking or deal with the hassles of street parking.
 
 And since you're looking for a place this time of the year, you're going up against the latest flock of college grads/interns and other newcomers to the city.
 
 Agree with Mark, have the deposit money in hand if you see a place you like.
 
 Be sure to check the DC Craig's List, too. That's how I found my place in Takoma Park.
 
 Good luck!

I know this... I've lived in and around the city for almost 10 years. But I also know that there are deals to be had, and gems to unearth. Just seeing if anyone on the board has some spelunking secrets they cared to share. Even at $800 its tough love. Hooray for rent control, if you can find it.

I felt lucky to find a place at around $800, did not think I would, but I found it on Craigs List, and you can't really expect much from a $800 apartment in NW, I was more concerned with where I lived rather than quality of the apartment

 GGW was toying with some people about the effects of aspartame. He never went for the killer blow like he does here though.

I agree, location is more important than quality, but I do not want to live in a closet.
