1. The most reasonable real estate prices in the Washington Metropolitan area.
2. Large houses offering great views of the city, Anacostia River & Monuments.
3. Easy access to major thoroughfares (I-295, I-395, I-95, B/W Pkwy), less than 10 minutes to downtown DC and Washington's National Airport.
4. The small town community feel (Washington, DC's own Harlem).
5. DC's focus on making the Anacostia River a "world-class waterfront" and the redevelopment of Anacostia Park which will offer a workout facility, swimming pool, walking, biking and running trails, tennis and basketball courts, amphitheater, picnicking, boating & river-rowing fun.
6. A new class of diverse & upwardly mobile professionals moving in everyday.
7. New reasonably priced (some below market-value) luxury Condos, Apartments & Townhouses being developed.
8. New businesses; art galleries, banks, restaurants, retail, the new Anacostia JazzNSoul Cafe (Anacostia's own Blues Alley) & Anacostia's first full-service real estate company, Anacostia River Realty.
9. The adoption of the name, "River East" by residents & the riddance of the name, "East of the River" along with its negative connotations.
10. The overall positive buzz about the "renaissance" of Anacostia
I'm looking forward to moving to Anacostia in the next year or wo. I've read plans that indicate it will be the next "Adams/Morgan".
ReplyDeleteI was pleasantly surprised to see how much the homes reminded me of the historic part of Laurel, Maryland.
The changes have already started taking place! I've lived here for 7 years now and the difference comparing then and now is like comparing night and day. Good luck with your move!
