UrbanTurf Reader Asks: Retired Couple Looking to Move Downtown
✉️ Want to forward this article? Click here.
In this installment of UrbanTurf Reader Asks, a retired couple who is interested in moving back to the city is looking for guidance on which neighborhood(s) would be the best fit for them.
Capitol Hill Row Houses
We moved to Capitol Hill in 1980 right after we were married and then moved to the Virginia suburbs a few years later, raised two boys. Now, we are empty nesters wanting to move back into the city where we can walk to restaurants and other attractions. We prefer Capitol Hill but we are open to suggestions on other DC neighborhoods with similar amenities and access. We’ve rebuilt several homes ourselves over the years but we want the next house to be either recently renovated to our taste (eclectic contemporary) or have a design/build firm to do a full renovation. We have $700-$800K in equity but would be open to spending more if a separate entrance rental unit was included. We are close to retirement and want to minimize any mortgage. A three-bedroom/2.5 bath would be about the right size for us.
