"Elmira Street SW Washingon D.C"
Bellevue is an upcoming neighborhood. I think is a great area for anyone who desires to invest on a property located in Washington D.C early enough before it starts getting too expensive like many other neighborhoods in D.C. This area , mainly the area of Elmira Street S.W is not ridiculously expensive. There are projects coming up in the next couple of years. Now, the street over , not so good. I wouldnt go for a run or walk at night time. The Tanger Outlets , MGM Casino , VA, Downtown D.C is just 5 to 10 minutes away from this area. Glad I decided to purchase my first home here, I sense peace and tranquilty in my street :) Hopefully the city will gentrified this area and build jobs ( Cafes, Shops, restaurants, etc ).
Pros
- inexpenisive
- close to Bolling Airforce Base
- low traffic
- quiet neighborhood
Cons
- poor quality housing
- too close to a sewage treatment plant
- crime

Hello Madeline! You are one of the fortunate ones that got in on this neighborhood early. The Washington Post recently did an excellent job of highlighting the transition of Bellevue. The investors are buying properties and the development is slowly coming. We are looking to lock down our grocery store soon. There have been rumors of Trader Joes, believe it or not. Here's the WaPo article https://www.washingtonpost.com/realestate/bellevue-a-quiet-corner-of-southwest-dc-undergoes-a-transformation/2016/11/02/8932798c-9615-11e6-9b7c-57290af48a49_story.html#comments

Also, if you're not already a member, you should come to the Bellevue Civic Association meetings. We actually meet today, 11/16/2016 at 6pm in the William O. Lockridge Library. At the meetings, you can learn all of the exciting things underway in the neighborhood and get to know all of the wonderful professionals that live in the area.
