DC APARTMENT HUNTING VLOG 1: touring apartments in Washington, DC w/ rent prices $

[@CaraneJ]

When u said 2015/2017 was too old for a building I busted out laughing cause in NYC them buildings from The 1900s and up lmao 😂

[@Ana.cj.Teixeira]

Usually older buildings mean better structure building since they been there for so long! Also now you see so many renovations going on that sometimes the outside doesn’t match the inside without mentioning older builds used to have bigger proportions compared to now a days, some new apartments are so expensive with such little spaces or no storage 😢

[@Jo.Raquel]

Down south older buildings usually have the most problems. It’s competition renovating much high for a higher price, you’re paying more just for the appliances not space.

[@Jo.Raquel]

Makes me think they just want money and can overcharge cause they can.

[@Ana.cj.Teixeira]

@@Jo.Raquel guess its different from where I live, its literally the other way around

[@DipsetBabiizz]

Giiiirrrll 2015 and 2017 is too old?! Hahah I live in a apartment building from 1965 😂😂 And it honestly feels pretty new somehow, granted I do live in Northern Europe so the vibes are VERY different from USA I guess 😅 loving this mini series already, can’t wait to see the apartment you choose and how you style it. New or old! 😂💕💕💕💕

[@ItsTifahTifah]

She funny asl 😅

[@susanverhagen5742]

Also live in a older apartment in the Netherlands europe and love it. So much bigger than the new apartments. Love my home. 2017 is new not old 😂😂😂

[@CaraneJ]

I’m from NYC our buildings are very old as well I previously commented at least from the 1900s and up.

[@iamawesomeprods]

Girlll check out the Maryland side of things! Epically the Hyattsville, College Parkish area, they’ve built a lot of things around there and are continuing building. Also don’t be afraid to speak up that you aren’t feeling it, (not enough lightening, need more space etc)when I worked in leasing when people told me there concerns it was easier for me to think of another unit that is available that they would like or an apartment that is about to be available. I’ve suprised a lot of people once they raised their concerns. Otherwise at least they know not to send you too many emails after you see an apartment there. 🤣

[@imaniwashington6039]

Check out the Maryland side of the DMV that is closer to dc such as takoma park, silver spring, bethesda, rockville, or wheaton

[@avery0704]

Takoma park is so nice!!!❤

[@angel2023x]

Agreed

[@MixyMix]

The apartments were cute, but I couldn't get past the packages being out like that. As a frequent online shopper I would be stressed. But with you being an influencer, OMG, stress to the infinite power! I look forward any tour you are willing to show us, as your safety is the most important factor with the content.

[@ShivangiSingh-wc3gk]

I pay $1950 for an apartment in Rosslyn. There is 2bed 2 bath for 2600 available. - small ass gym - community room - tennis court - dog park - swimming pool - storage - parking -wifi -washer dryer + dishwasher (moved here from NYC) -sauna -spa

[@kaylalashaevlogs]

That sounds amazing!

[@loriwooten800]

If you haven’t looked already try looking in the Park & Rose area of Bethesda they have all the amenities you said you want. It gives the same Mosiac vibe but WAY BETTER!!! They also have a real dog park, and it’s right outside of DC and on the metro.

[@kristinrodriguezrealtordmv3434]

I live near the Pentagon and love it!! Everything I need I can walk to (even tho I do have a car). I do live in an older building, but it's a large corner unit, tons of windows and my view of the monument and other landmarks in DC are top-tier. Quick Uber ride to DC. The newer apts are tiny. Don't rule out older buildings, especially if they have some units that are newly renovated. My girlfriend just moved to The Tides at the wharf, beautiful building and of course it's a Prime location. The apartments are tiny, but definitely dope.

[@JustNyCii]

DC is over priced for no reason and let’s not forget the high levels of crime. I have so many clients leaving the city and going into Md & Va. Amenities are fine but what’s the crime rate in the area. And yes it’s everywhere but really know what u going into. Good luck

[@Karlitaaardon]

Fairfax, Vienna, Springfield and Alexandria all have metro stations!

[@_marcyyy]

YOU GO GURL!! So excited to take this journey with you ❤❤ srsly tho.. why is everything so HIGH!!!? Praying you find the perfect place - HE will do it for you 😇

[@kaylalashaevlogs]

that place was high for nothing. just wait for the next vlog😍

[@prosperityroddy5686]

I love that you’re doing this series. I just moved here from Texas and currently in kinda the same situation as you, I feel like I’m watching an older sister 😂literally been watching you for 10+ years I think?

[@fellaent]

Dont do Alexandria. Especially this place called Mason at Van Dorn terrible rat infested place! I needed something last minute when i moved and didnt do enough research. I am now breaking my lease. Def do PG/MD side

[@kaylalashaevlogs]

Thanks for the tip!!

I’m loving this series you’re going to find what your looking for I love that you are taking your time nothing wrong with being picky you are spending your money 💕💕

[@Ashleyunfiltered]

Don’t know if you thought of this Kayla but one thing that I think is your super power is you represent true KZbin vlogger nostalgia. All the KZbinrs changed over the years, making prank videos or click bait videos for views but I think I keep coming back to you because you represent something truthful and nostalgic. Your videos make me calm lol 🤍🥰😇

[@Renaee32]

@@kaylalashaevlogs yes it is! I miss it. The area that I live in is nice, but apartments can get a little pricey. Let me know if you want me to give you the name of the area. There are a lot of apartments that are newer too.

[@sherrane6734]

Hey Kayla! Have you considered staying at home a bit longer and buying a house instead? 30-40k could be a down payment for a house instead of a years worth of rent, I’d love to see your home ownership era, especially since you seem to love interior design ❤

I’m living through you with this moving journey. I’m in Alexandria and it’s so expensive to live on your own this area. Hopefully I’ll be moving out a year after you! I think you’d like the Ballston area in Arlington or Eisenhower area in Alexandria. Good Luck, you’re almost where you want to be!

[@kaylalashaevlogs]

oooh girl the DMV is pricey!!! but im excited to find the perfect home!

[@SamWithSharks]

Apartment hunting here is such a pain. I’ve lived all over the DMV, lmk if you need the tea on any buildings. The last one I lived in was AWFUL.

[@tnorristowler]

Yes, there are a lot of dressed up shit in the area.

[@kaylalashaevlogs]

Oh please spill 😫

[@MarkHolmesJobuSportsReport]

Can't wait to help!

[@mibellanote]

yay!! I should be moving out early next year and Im def in the DMV area! Excited for your moving series and your living alone series! I been following you since before you moved to LA!☺

[@kaylalashaevlogs]

So many girls are in the dmv and I didn’t even know until this vlog!! 💞

[@ld3330]

I like this series and I would not move there. The package thing is crazy because anybody can walk in there and run out with those packages. But at least you got the first viewing out the way.

[@kaylalashaevlogs]

yeah it was not appealing to me at all

[@Adaywithrayy]

Arlington has better value for the price

[@phumiegee5166]

Are you open to Maryland like Bethesda, Rockville, etc I think these areas can offer what you looking for

[@PlainJane82]

With the amount you would be paying in rent have you considered saving for a down payment for a townhome in the dmv area? $2300 for a 1b1ba is bonkers!

[@kaylalashaevlogs]

i dont want to be a home owner at this time

[@sharell814]

I lucked up and found a 1 and den for $2165 in a lux building near a metro.

[@kaylalashaevlogs]

Good for you a steal!!!

[@sharell814]

@kaylalashaevlogs yes I'm dc too girl!

[@MelloneeKecia]

Those apartments he showed you were okay looking can’t wait to see more of this series. Great vlog as always 👍🏾👏🏾🤗❤️

[@tnorristowler]

I live in a rented condo in Arlington for $1700 with utilities and parking included, no pet fee or rent. The trade-off was it is an old building and street parking is an absolute nightmare for guest. I’m looking to move as well, but to either Alexandria (my hometown) or another condo situation with added amenities.

[@kaylalashaevlogs]

I hope you find the perfect place!!!

are you considering other types of buildings like brownstones / row houses also? I used to live in Maryland in a beautiful brownstone and loved it. there is a KZbinr who lives in DC in one, her name is Caroline Winkler.

[@EBONY_HD]

You should check out fort totten square and union heights in NE! You’d be surprised how many places you can find for under 3k in dc proper. You might also like Balston vA but it’s a bit too far out for me. I live in a 4 unit building in NE and love it. I personally think many amenities are overrated/overpriced but I understand why you want them! New here and going to sub ❤

[@kaylalashaevlogs]

awesome thanks for the recommendations!

[@BenYT5]

Look into the Silver Spring area!

[@kaylalashaevlogs]

i hear MD is nice!

[@angel2023x]

MD is ok & very ghetto in a lot of areas. Montgomery County is the nicer area. Boujee & expensive but you get your money’s worth. Pls do your research before moving to MD.

[@ShoGlizzyy]

I would think prices would go up, not down, closer to start of college school year but also those people already locked in. Maybe look in Bethesda or Friendship Heights if you'd cross into MD.

[@kaylalashaevlogs]

normally its more in summer when the kids are out for summer break. poeple dont normally move around the holidays and christmas

[@deniceworks6328]

The bedrooms were too dark and it had carpet. Plus what was up with all the doors? You had to open a door to close a door😂 This complex was a hard NO for me.
