On top of that, you have one of the biggest and best universities in the world here with Ohio State University.

Now the University of Penn has a housing program for employees.

So with this basement conversion my home will become a 2 unit dwelling (being that I'm walking distance to the Brookland metro and CUA Catholic University of America) it should rent for $1300 - $1500 easy.  

Murchison Rd and the area surrounding Fayetteville State University tend be avoided by most, but I have found success even in those areas.
