Look at square footage, beds/baths, condition, and distance from your property. 

I am looking to get into the Bates-Hendricks and/or Fountain Square areas.  

@Brandon Turner you're always welcome to make the 2,500 mile drive from Washington for this little get together!

My personal fave is the Baltimore Washington Investors Meetuphttp://www.meetup.com/bwimeetupMeets the 2nd Wednesday of the month in Columbia and it's FREE.  

Is the square footage enough for everyone to have one bicycle or two bicycles?  

I recommend Washington, DC to anyone that can afford it. 

The property I am looking at is in the Washington DC area, and it is a 2 BR/1BA condo.  

Agreed with Jon...I would never trust an architect (or anyone other than the actual contractors you'll use) with cost projections, for lots of reasons:-  He doesn't know the contractors you will use-  He doesn't know if you'll be be GCing it yourself or hiring a builder-  He doesn't know the finishes you'll be using-  He doesn't know your ability to negotiate prices-  He doesn't know your level of experience and ability to make cost-effective decisionFor our most recent project, I had architects projecting $125-150 per square foot for construction.
