Greetings!
"Snowpocalypse" has reminded many of us in the DC area of the importance of our homes. If you're going to be homebound for days and days, it's a lot nicer to be in a place you love.
And as the snow has turned traveling around DC into a constant battle, clients keep telling us what life-savers our agents are -- driving apartment-seekers around the city to their appointments. Rather than digging your car out, standing on metro platforms, and trudging through slush, you can focus on finding the right place to live.
In this issue of Rent Check, we finish our fascinating interview with DC rental market expert Grant Montgomery. We also talk with Logan Circle community leader Tim Christensen about his ever-changing neighborhood. And for our Featured Property, we look at a Van Ness building that marries convenience with urban escape.

DC Apartment Trends, Part II: For Renters
In last month's Rent Check, Delta
Associates VP Grant Montgomery focused on DC residential rental market trends
from the landlord's perspective.
Now, in the second and final part of our interview, we shift to what it all means for renters. Grant tells us why DC remains a renter's market, how to find the best deals, and what neighborhoods to keep an eye on.

Featured Property: Van Ness
Nestled in the upper -- and often quieter -- part of Connecticut Avenue in DC's Van Ness area, this property offers both convenience and an escape from the usual hustle and bustle of the city.
The building is located walking distance from the Van Ness station on metro's red line. Its proximity to Van Ness, Chevy Chase, and Cleveland Park offers easy access to a variety of shopping, dining, and nightlife spots. Politics and Prose, a well-know independent bookstore and coffeehouse that regularly hosts guest speakers, is just a few blocks away.
Conveniently situated between downtown DC and suburban Maryland, this building is an ideal choice for those working in either of these areas. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate neighboring Rock Creek Park, a great place to go for a walk, jog, or bike ride. Features include hardwood floors, walk-in closets, covered and off-street parking facilities, and 24-hour maintenance. And the apartments are larger than those you would typically find closer to Dupont Circle and downtown.
