DC folks — Any recommendations for a nice high rise apartment that’s clean with good amenities, neighbors, and management? I’m currently living at the Altaire in Arlington but want to move back to DC, so looking for something comparable.

If it’s the one above WF, I like my building better 😆 Arlington (especially the NL area) is getting way too pricey. Lived out here for 3 years and definitely prefer DC.

I would stay in VA, DC is on a downward spiral. I lived at 220 Twentieth in Crystal City for 5 years and loved it. In DC I considered One Hill South, but they had construction issues and the neighborhood is not great.

How much are you paying? I’m looking for a bed too.

Resa Noma, the Crossing, and 450k were all very good when we toured and they had covid deals. Ame also seems good though I haven't toured + there's a brand new Bozutto complex in Adams Morgan that looks great, though pricey of course. I live a couple blocks from Altaire and am curious how you like it? Pricing seems high for the area and reviews aren't great. I'd gladly pay for it if the amenities were top quality.

Altaire does offer hotel stays. You can find it online. Terrible service too. My mom stayed there and we promised never again.

I lived in Eliot on 4th in SW and loved it. Amenities are inexpensive and management was phenomenal. I’m in MVT now and prefer the location , etc, but was very happy with the offerings in that area and proximity to transportation / stuff to do.

MVT is great, I lived at a few of the buildings there back in the day and always loved the neighborhood and how close it is to everything.

Flats at union row. 14andV. Thank me later

I currently work as a personal injury lawyer at a small law firm, 5 years experience, graduated from T30 law school in 2015. Our subject area is pretty niche, and I am looking to branch out.

Open to leaving the law for a compliance/HR/other type position. Am I even marketable for something like that? Am I being unrealistic?

I have never gone to the gym or really worked out, and want to make a change in my life to start exercising. I'm not sure how to handle post-workout showering though.

First time growing out hair and it's coarse/wavy/dry so it takes days for oils to distribute (so oily scalp) due to pushing off washing -- when I do wash, I shampoo only the scalp and will conditioner the rest of my hair. I'm afraid of overwashing, but if I don't wash my hair after I sweat, it will frizz and poof up. Any advice?
