Greetings!
Amidst the turbulent U.S. economy, the DC area continues to be a bright spot, with job creation across many sectors. We see this trend up close every day as more and more companies enlist our help in finding homes for relocating employees. If you work at a DC area company that's hiring, please tell colleagues and recruiting staff about Urban Igloo.
Among people moving to DC and those already here, one of our most in-demand locations continues to be Dupont Circle. This month's feature interviewee, Paul Williams of Historic Dupont Circle Main Streets, credits the neighborhood's "diversity in both architecture and culture" as one of the reasons behind its appeal.
In addition to speaking with Paul, in this issue of Rent Check we kick off our new Agent Interview series by chatting with Urban Igloo's rising star, Capri Baylor. And for our Featured Property of the Month, we take you to Capitol Hill.
- Richard Gersten, Founder and Managing Partner

Paul Williams
 | Discovering Dupont Circle, Past and Present
Many of us rarely think about the history of DC neighborhoods. Paul Williams thinks about it all the time--it's his job. He's led historic preservation efforts in the Metro area for almost 20 years and has written 11 books spotlighting different DC neighborhoods.
Paul's credentials also include serving as Project Director of the "City Within a City: Greater U Street Heritage Trail" project. Today, as Executive Director of Historic Dupont Circle Main Streets (HDCMS), he turns his attention to one of DC's hippest neighborhoods.
We had the chance to talk with Paul about Dupont Circle's hidden "historical gems," his tips for finding reasonably priced apartments in the neighborhood and more.

Featured Property: Capitol Hill/H Street
If unique, innovative floor plans, vaulted ceilings and grand entertaining spaces speak to you, look no further  than these luxury loft condos located in the Capitol Hill/Union Station/H Street neighborhood. A fully renovated historic building, this property features dramatic open interiors that combine elegance with an edge.
Enjoying the building's 19th century grandeur does not mean having to sacrifice 21st century luxuries and convenience. Being only minutes away from Union Station puts you a short walk away from dozens of restaurants, upscale retail and a multiplex cinema. Union Station also provides access to metro's red line and several bus routes, so transportation is never a problem.
Features and amenities include: - Access to rooftop pool, clubroom, screening room and private health club
- Abundant outdoor space with private yards, terraces and roof decks
-
Top-of-the-line finishes featuring Wolf-Subzero kitchens, custom baths and designer lighting
- Private underground parking and bike storage

Inside the Igloo: Capri Baylor
Without the help of our talented team of leasing agents, Urban Igloo wouldn't be able to consistently match renters to homes they love, and landlords to qualified tenants. We thought you'd be interested in getting to know this vital part of the Urban Igloo team better.
For our first agent interview, we sat down with Capri Baylor to learn why she is passionate about real estate, which features and amenities renters most often look for and what it takes to be a good leasing agent.

What Landlords Are Saying
"My Urban Igloo agent leased my condo in less than a week! He photographed and advertised on Saturday and had two applications by Friday. I signed the lease on Sunday. Thank you, Urban Igloo! You made my life much easier by finding a qualified renter in record time."
Jodie H., Alexandria
