You may have been to Washington, DC on an eighth grade or high school trip, but living in the District is way more than American flags and white marble. While many residents work in government or at many of the colleges and universities in town, outside work they enjoy a rich nightlife. Washington has an influential hardcore punk and indie music scene and is also famous for go-go music, a mashup of post-punk and R&B. And with free admission to Smithsonian museums, you can go see a Rembrandt any time you want.
Living in the nation’s capital is pricey, though. The average rent for a one-bedroom apartment is $2,400 and the average median home price is $625K. In a town that even members of Congress call pricey, you’ll likely be downsizing.
That’s why you should keep self-storage in your plans for any DC move. With facilities in and around the District, you’ll have many convenient options. And you’ll be surprised at how affordable it can be, even for a larger unit. If you’re looking to settle near the seat of power, don’t let storage be what holds you back.
