Your facts might be right but the problem is no one is going to trust your version of the facts because your post's wording made it so transparently obvious that you have a financial interest in promoting Asheford Court.

It's a roll of the dice that East of the River will appreciate any time soon. As soon as a market becomes, "can't fail" it is headed toward a bubble. Remember the old real estate cliche -- location, location, location.

Riggs Park never seemed that tough to me...not saying it was soft, but it just seemed kinda mild and chill..especially for Northeast...It was definetly a black neighboorhood though.

Walked it yesterday, 2.6 miles from front door to stadium--took 19 mins. Most can't even drive to Nats Stadium in 20 mins.
