First time homebuyer in the DMV

[Charlene Fuller]

Hi All,

I am a first time homebuyer that is looking to purchase in the DC area. My budget is 350k-385k. The goal was not to cross the river but that now serms impossible. I'm still new to the area so I wanted to get insights on some of those areas that east of the river that may fit my budget, but is somewhat safe and has potential or future development plans.  Hoping to here from investors, DC natives or anyone that has insight about real estate in the DC area. Currently thinking of deanwood, river terrace, randall heights, marshall heights and congress heights. Please let me know your thoughts.
