Go Big or Go Home: Buy a DC Chinatown Condo
Plain and simple, Chinatown is DC. People and cars pack the streets, but don’t over pack them. Buildings are large, but not so large that one feels dwarfed. Restaurants and bars line the community, presenting Chinatown condo owners with something to do during the day and at night.
One cannot speak of Chinatown without first mentioning, just that, the Chinese influence. Establishments throughout the area and the large gate welcoming guests to the community are unmistakably Asian, but the neighborhood is not exclusively of Far East descent.
The restaurants in Chinatown are some of the most diverse and very best in DC. Whether you want award-winning Spanish tapas from Jaleo, fresh fish from Legal Seafood, or just a big barbecue pork sandwich and beer at Gordon Biersch, there is food for every palate.
Not only is there always something to eat in Chinatown, but there is always something to do in Chinatown. The area is located near the historic areas of Logan Circle and Shaw, but Chinatown residents revel in their neighborhood’s activities. At its heart is the Verizon Center, a stadium that is attached to the metro stop, and is the home of the NBA’s Washington Wizards, WNBA’s Washington Mystics, NHL’s Washington Capitals, and NCAA’s Georgetown Hoyas basketball. The only major DC sports teams that don’t play in the Verizon Center are the Nationals and the Redskins. Let’s just say it’s better that way—DC locals wouldn’t want the Nats and Skins mediocrity to rub off on the others. There’s more than just sports in Chinatown though. Across the street from Verizon Center is the Shakespeare Theater Company, and right down the street is the National Mall. Just several blocks away is President Obama’s house.
Chinatown offers DC condo owners some of the most refined residences in the city. Floor to ceiling windows, stainless steel appliances, and open floor-plans are the norm in Chinatown, providing you with a secluded safe-haven away from the hustle bustle of Downtown DC. For the coffee addicts, cafes are scattered throughout Chinatown.
Access to the red, yellow, and green lines offers an easy Metro commute for Chinatown residents who work all over the city. While the Metro is a great option, living in the heart of Chinatown provides the commute that DC residents dream of: the chance to walk to work.
