Now the fourth most valuable housing market in the United States, DC real estate continues to blossom. Whether it’s our crystal ball or a continuous fortuitous landing of particular listings, MG Residential has stayed congruent with present housing market trends. Observed permutations from neighborhood to neighborhood has begged us to ask ourselves an interesting question – which neighborhood housing market will be the next “hottest market”? With this in mind, we went ahead and took a closer look at 3 popular neighborhoods where we are currently listed.

An MG Residential Favorite
Shepherd Park
What makes it our favorite?
Described as a “friendly” community, MG Residential had the opportunity to find out just how friendly the neighbors were at our “Neighbors Only Sneak Peek” open house earlier in September. Offering a preview of 7800 Morningside Dr., a once neglected property – 150 individuals from the community came out to marvel at the tastefully renovated house, now with the look and feel of a home. The Shepherd Park neighborhood embodies more of a suburban atmosphere while having the unique position of sitting in the NW quadrant of DC. Only a short drive to restaurants and shops in Silver Spring and Bethesda, Shepherd Park is also close enough to enjoy all the attractions offered downtown.
