5 Overpriced DC Neighborhoods Families Get Trapped In

My clients moved to Capitol Hill for the school. Within a year, they were paying private school tuition instead. And they weren't the only ones. I've been selling real estate in DC, Maryland, and Virginia for over 25 years — hundreds of closed transactions, an MBA with a real estate focus, and time in the trenches with land developers and national homebuilders. When I talk about this market, I know what I'm talking about. In this video, I'm walking through 5 of the most desirable (and most expensive) neighborhoods in the DMV. I’m telling you the honest truth about what you're actually getting for your money if you have kids. Great neighborhood and great value for families are not the same thing. Especially in a market where a million dollars isn't even close to the top of the price range. We're covering Capitol Hill, Georgetown, Chevy Chase MD, Old Town Alexandria, and McLean. And for most of them, I'll tell you where to buy instead. ────────────────────────────── 🏡 NEIGHBORHOODS COVERED ────────────────────────────── 00:37 - Capitol Hill, DC 03:53 - Georgetown, DC 06:08 - Chevy Chase, Maryland 09:06 - Old Town Alexandria, Virginia 11:44 - McLean, Virginia ────────────────────────────── 📍 THE ALTERNATIVES ────────────────────────────── 02:58 - Capitol Hill → Mount Pleasant 05:35 - Georgetown → Glover Park 08:36 - Chevy Chase MD → Bethesda 11:05 - Old Town Alexandria → Del Ray (with caveats) 13:48 - McLean → Vienna ────────────────────────────── 🔗 MENTIONED IN THIS VIDEO ────────────────────────────── → Vienna, VA neighborhood guide: https://dcrealestatemama.com/family-l... → Glover Park neighborhood guide: https://dcrealestatemama.com/is-glove... → Work with me: dcrealestatemama.com ────────────────────────────── 👋 ABOUT ME ────────────────────────────── I'm Melissa — a licensed real estate agent with 25+ years in the DC, Maryland, and Virginia market.
