Jahvon, are you familiar with the average rent in this neighborhood? How much do you think a 1 bedroom usually goes for?
If you knew the answer to these questions, you would NOT be calling the neighborhood "middle-class."
I'd consider it one of the more expensive neighborhoods in DC. I guess it depends on how you define "middle-class"...
Yeah, there's nothing remotely "middle class" about Dupont. There are some residual businesses left over from its bohemian days, but when rowhouses are going for over $2 mil, you've got yourself a hoity-toity affluent neighborhood.
Never! It's always been a place for Washington's elite. The mansions are a dead giveaway.
Well, to be fair, the mere existence of mansions doesn't mean the upper class has always lived there. The mansions surrounding Logan Circle were once derelict, for example, and the rowhouses of Bloomingdale and Ledroit didn't always host the city's affluent residents.
Back in the 70s and 80s, Dupont wasn't as high-end as it is now. I don't think you could ever call it "middle class," but many working professionals could buy into the neighborhood then. You can't say that now.
