Hi:
This information confirms what I recently heard from a real estate agent. The agent was assisting a client find a home in Brookland ( I know its not Riggs Park) for about $350,000. Both the agent and client discovered that nothing was available, and they turned their attention towards Cheverly, MD. The Urban Turf blog has confirmed that all of DC has become prohibitively expensive, and out the reach of the working class.
