    with 1k home expenses per month

    Lmao. DC is one of the top HCOL cities in the country. I also don’t think your calculation includes any of the taxes, insurance, etc you need for a house.

    The first link you shared, literally all of the houses are east of the river. Talk to anyone in this area about recommendations on living in that area.

    Second link is MD not DC.

    Thanks for doing this research though.

      Home expenses is just taxes, electricity/gas/water, maintenance.

      Not Cost of Living.

        HCOL areas make all of those things more expensive. $1000 for those costs per month is pure fantasy here.
