Would you ever want to live here? These condos are right at the I-395 terminus at New York Avenue in DC.

Right where a few thousand cars a day would drive by, or worse, idle. All that exhaust, heat, car tire soot.

I know I would not. And I know from experience. I used to live on 16th Street.

It was convenient. Yet noisy, dusty, and dirty. Nothing like the clean tranquility of Petworth.

But someone will buy one, someone will live here. Will that someone be you?
