Washington, D.C., is a unique world with all the art, culture, and history you could ever imagine. Framed by Maryland and the Potomac River, the District draws a high percentage of out-of-state and international homebuyers. Its broader Metro Area includes parts of Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia, with an impressive GDP of over $500 billion.
If you’re relocating to the D.C. area, you have the best kind of dilemma: where to settle down? The National Capital Region is filled with bountiful suburbs and well-designed urban neighborhoods. Its residents spend their workdays running international companies like World Bank, American government organizations like the C.I.A., and corporations like Amazon and Nestle.
Our job and passion at Lida Rippe Real Estate is to find you the perfect place to live. Beginning with a personalized consultation, we will narrow down your priorities in terms of choice of schools, proximity to parks, access to public transportation, and more. We will work tirelessly to connect you with exceptional properties in neighborhoods that fit your criteria. At every turn, we will be on your side, through negotiations all the way to the closing table and beyond.
If you’re new to Washington, D.C., you’ll find much to love about the area. Places like the Washington Monument, Abraham Lincoln Memorial, and Arlington National Cemetery give the city a reverential feel. At the same time, D.C. has a sophisticated, international flair. Residents from all corners of the globe rub shoulders with high-profile politicians and embassy employees. Exploring this vibrant city, you will uncover your favorite restaurants, inviting green spaces, and fascinating institutions.
Living in the city offers endless adventure, excitement, and learning opportunities. The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts hosts world-class performances, from Broadway hits to jazz and ballet. The Smithsonian Museums are adventures in and of themselves. This group of museums is the largest in the world, providing a vast array of historical exhibitions, artistic wonders, and memorabilia collections. With the National Portrait Gallery, the National Gallery of Art, and the International Spy Museum, there are endless ways to deepen your appreciation of Washington, D.C.
The city’s many lush parks and conservatories make it easy to stay active and explore the outdoors in D.C. Locals love hiking Rock Creek Park, kayaking on the Potomac, and exploring the Wharf. Further out in the suburbs are some of the world’s best residential neighborhoods. Families love areas like Capitol Hill and Logan Circle, famous for their Victorians and brownstones. Across the Potomac, Alexandria and Arlington are cities on the rise that are also serviced by public transit, greatly simplifying commutes for thousands of area employees. The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority operates six rail lines: Red, Orange, Silver, Blue, Yellow, and Green. The system's layout makes it possible to travel between any two stations with no more than a single transfer. It has 128 miles of track connecting 97 stations in Greater D.C. and connects D.C., Maryland, and Virginia with the major airports.
