Scouting guide
Practical checks to run before you commit to a home. Mark each one as you go, flag anything to follow up and add notes. Your progress is saved in this browser.
Topic 1 of 3
Verify whether the property is inside the city and test the route to transit; the Metro station name alone does not identify the local government.
For daily travel, use current WMATA information and test the walk to the actual station entrance or stop.
Try a grocery errand and a public park or DC Public Library branch.
Account for hills, river crossings and access rules rather than judging the routine from a straight-line distance.
Topic 2 of 3
Compare the actual home’s layout, condition, storage and included services.
For shared buildings, request current fees and the division of maintenance responsibilities; for a house, inspect the systems and outdoor areas you would maintain.
A neighborhood description does not establish availability or a price for a particular property.
Topic 3 of 3
Use the exact address to confirm the jurisdiction, utility providers, waste collection and building access arrangements. Keep each source and confirmation with your moving plan.
