DMV home shoppers are back with post-pandemic wish lists including easy access to grocery stores and metros.
The big picture: Palisades, Cleveland Park, Wesley Heights, Kent, Clarendon, Courthouse, Lyon Village, Cheverly, Del Ray, Old Town Alexandria and NoMA are some of the hottest spots in town.
Between the lines: Priorities shifted during the pandemic, pushing more people to the suburbs in search of more space — but as life has returned to a new normal, good schools and downtown walkability are back in vogue.
Reality check: Thanks to tight inventory, buyers are casting a wider net. "The days of hyperlocal pickiness are over," Scimeca says.
- Final decisions depend on buyer's budgets, DMV agent Ericka Black says.
- For more affordable options inside the Beltway, Black recommends Maryland's Cheverly, which offers an easy commute, charming homes and a strong sense of community.
- In D.C., buyers might have better luck in NoMA where there's an onslaught of new construction, she says.
