APARTMENT HUNTING IN WASHINGTON DC 🏡 touring 7 units with rent prices included! | Charlotte Pratt

[@CharlottePrattYT]

I'm SO excited to share this video with you guys! As a reminder, if anybody knows or finds out where I'm living, please keep that information private for my safety! I really hope you guys enjoy this apartment hunting vlog -- I can't wait for you all to see the apartment!!

[@weisabunny]

Good gawd!!! Cost of living is crazy! I'm from DC, it's gone up so much! Glad you prioritized safety!!! Glad you found a place!

[@amandaruthbarnes1181]

Girl those prices are high like NYC but you're getting waaaaay nicer apartments!

[@iian1229]

I guessed right! I love Apt#3 the most as well. Happy for you and open a new, fantastic journey in DC.

[@CharlottePrattYT]

Yay!! Good guess 🙌🏼

[@dianajones8475]

YAHHH apartment #3!!! Literally that one I would have picked! I'm so excited for you!!! Let me tell you, once you get a balcony, things change. I love putting plants out on mine. Plus the luxury to walk outside for fresh air without having to leave the building or the comforts of your home is game changing. Can't wait to see how you decorate your new place.

[@CharlottePrattYT]

It was easily the best choice 🙌🏼 can’t wait to find some larger plants to put out on the balcony, or maybe even an herb garden!!

[@andrewusa14]

@@CharlottePrattYT I like your accent what state are you originally from.

[@bee8825]

as someone who lives outside of dc, trust me and sell the car. anyone who lives in dc rarely uses their car and it sits there while they make payments on it and potentially gets broken into no matter how “safe” a garage is, no worker is putting their life on the line for someone’s car. the metro can take u out of the city into the states surrounding and then the metro around northern virginia in particular is amazing, buses are fine, and once ur further into virginia the ubers are cheap.

[@Aathbii]

You make a great point. But I have a genuine question, but what if I want to visit my friends and family out of state on the weekends/holidays or do road trips? How do people who dont have a car navigate that? Im afraid ill feel trapped if i give up my car

[@bee8825]

@@Aathbii if ur going for a longer road trip then the suggestion is to rent a car, but anything within the dc suburbs is accessible by public transport and so much is within that area that very few people drive places in the city, it’s such a nightmare and the tolls are expensive

[@bevally1533]

I live in DC and have a car that is garaged in my building. I drive it a couple of times a week more or less. Also use the Metro and Uber. The car is the way to go when driving to the grocery and bringing the bags home.

[@Bourbachi]

​@@bee8825 I had some ridiculously long public transport trips before I finally brought my car here.

[@katherineafzal2315]

Cars are so expensive now. She is better off keeping it or leaving it with her parents. The buses do not run all hours in NVA.

[@HiTechRedneck]

Congratulations!! I know how hard it can be to find an apartment that checks all the boxes while still being in budget, so I’m sooooo happy for you!

[@CharlottePrattYT]

Ahhh thank you so much!!!

[@alexisliane316]

I love that your dad came with you apartment hunting! I'm 40 years old and looking to move back to DC (from Reston) and my dad insists on coming with me on all the tours 🤣

[@CharlottePrattYT]

awwww that's so sweet 🥹

[@christianrivera1369]

Definitely thought you’d go with the corner unit 😂 love apartment 3 tho ! Excited to see how you lay it out

[@SarahSchneider2]

Congrats on your new apartment, beautiful view of DC

[@Skim_25]

Welcome to the DMV from a fellow class of ‘23! I would personally suggest something in Arlington and commute to DC, though rent and housing prices for this entire region has gone through the roof in the past few years.

[@CharlottePrattYT]

I definitely looked in Arlington to start out! I’m keeping an eye out for it in the future, maybe once I ready for something a bit bigger!

[@RhondaRose5]

Hi Charlotte, really enjoyed touring the apartments. I agree # 3 is awesome! Congratulations on getting your first apartment and it's something you love! Now the exciting fun begins with decor, so excited to be able to enjoy this journey with you Thanks for sharing this 🎉❤🎉

[@robyncopp3854]

Yayyy. I guessed the one with the balcony. They were all lovely in their own way but what I loved about that apartment is that there is no one directly across from your window. My building is the same and I never close my blinds except in the late afternoon in the summer cuz it's hot as bajeezuz. Can't wait to see how you have decorated. Congratulations on your big girl apartment.

[@CharlottePrattYT]

Yesss I’m the exact same way, I never close the blinds!!! I want all the sunlight ☀️

[@tori_lahr]

This video was so amazing!!! Well organized and entertaining!

[@CharlottePrattYT]

Thank you so much!!

[@joanarodrigues198]

I loooove those videos! Excited for you Charlote 😊 it's bringing me memories for first apartment

[@francescaleonvela]

Loved this video! Felt like I was watching House Hunters!! ❤️

[@CharlottePrattYT]

Love that!

[@pb27492]

I live in the last apartment complex you toured and you dodged a bullet! It’s been the worst apartment experience ever 😅 definitely coming back to this video for recs when our lease is up!

[@CharlottePrattYT]

omg no way!! I'm so sorry it was a bad experience, that sucks :(

[@leslieanneDC]

Welcome to the DC area! 🎉

[@IsabelMzz]

I loooove this video!! I don’t know why but I knew it was apartment number 3! Congratulations 🎉 Your apartment is awesome! Can’t wait to watch next vlogs!

[@CharlottePrattYT]

Thank you so much!! Apt 3 was def the right choice 💕

[@arese-]

I loved the hallway aspect of apt 3. I would've picked it as well! Enjoy!

[@padocsdoll]

I knew it was between #3, #4 and #5! Happy for you. Hope you make awesome memories in your new space ♥

[@Specificpickle]

So happy for you!!

[@Mercedesbenzz8]

This might be similar pricinging for new York like you said but I've watched a lot of NYC apartment videos and you are definitely getting a lot more than they do with a $2300 price range

[@emmaranzetta8461]

So excited to see your adventures in DC!!! :)

[@nimii_lovee]

I am big when it comes to apartment hunting videos...i just love thise kind of videos ❤

[@CharlottePrattYT]

They’re so fun!!

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

Good morning Charlotte happy Friday morning and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter and I'm proud of you

[@lisaashby8930]

Hi Charlotte. I’m so happy that you have found your new home! I love your final choice. So happy to know that you’re happy! 😊💜🩷💜🩷

[@WesleyCoughlan]

Awesome video, Charlotte! Glad you found your new place! It looks awesome with amazing views! Looking forward to your next vlog! Your adventures in D.C. are truly under way now! 😊❤

[@VRYTHNGES]

YESS i'm so excited for you and i love this series!!!

[@CharlottePrattYT]

Yayyy thank you!!

[@lyndareith1206]

Understand East facing is nice in that you don't get the intense heat that you do for West or South.

[@liviemar308]

I lived in the same complex as #6 & #7 for nearly two years and WHEW you dodged a bullet. I'm glad you picked #3, it looks great!

[@arij5586]

Was looking at moving here but I’ve heard the crime is crazy!!

[@hangul199]

Hey there, Cameron doppelgänger! I hope you're cool with the nickname, but if it's not your vibe, just let me know. Nailed it on the apartment choice-number 3. Can't wait to catch a glimpse of your daily routines around here. I really appreciate your vlogs; they're so enjoyable to watch!

[@vanessahinds8320]

Love it! I would’ve chosen Apt 3 also! It’s really unique and very pretty. Be safe and enjoy your “big girl” apartment.

[@ImNotMC]

Congrats on the new apt! #5 would have been my top choice even for myself but like you said, that second floor to the street and sidewalk & that parking sign would be deal breakers for me too. #3 would be my second choice too, great views and the balcony is def a bonus! :)

[@CharlottePrattYT]

the balcony is DEF a bonus ✨

[@chunggomez502]

Such a detailed but well paced video. Enjoyed it 💯 thank you so much! Subscribed🫶

[@CharlottePrattYT]

Thank you!!! So glad to have you here 🥰🥰

[@jmwllalvrz]

This is crazy how I bumped into this video as I am casually looking around for places to live in the DMV area. You just gained a follower! I can't wait for this chapter in your life! I hope you're liking the are and place that you're in (still haven't watched any of ur videos hehe)

[@hilsbeasley539]

Yep! That was my favourite too!

[@AshleyS.]

For future videos. The closet in the bathroom is called a linen closet.

[@talea9593]

I've never seen your channel before but your video was in my recommended section. I also live in DC and I've been here about two years. I live on the military base which is like 5-10 minutes from the Navy Yard area. Hopefully you're having fun here in DC. There is a lot of fun stuff to do. There's a really good restaurant to check out called Ted's Bulletin on 8th St SE.

[@wolfwithlashes5303]

Miss girl I just found your channel but I'm so happy you chose the apartment that I liked lol! I hope you love it there ❤

[@alangiles776]

Hi Charlotte 🙂 🏡 You have picked a lovely apartment. Perfect for your Big Girl era. Great views from the windows.

[@CharlottePrattYT]

I can’t wait for the DC Big Girl era 🥹🫶🏼

[@theL81Again]

I was hoping you picked #3. You’ll be able to enjoy the July 4th fireworks in the comfort of your air conditioned apartment!

[@hunterbritt]

I ADORE APARTMENT NUMBER 4❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@1GorgeousGodzilla]

I love shopping with other peoples money! I picked apt 3 as well! Enjoy your home

[@CharlottePrattYT]

you have great taste 😉

[@Unstoppable0202]

A creature in the zoo 😂😂 that was a very funny comparison😅

[@MrPranamit]

heyoo!! .. I'm also apartment hunting right now - could you maybe please share the names of the apartments you looked at - some of these apartments seemed really cool!!

[@isabelm.2215]

I guessed right too, for sure you choosed apt. 3 🙂

[@garfreed]

You need to identify the buildings.

[@ervinsmoviecorner8748]

Stunning one!❤❤

[@floppyjalopy94]

Put a curtain up on the windows so people can’t look through lol

[@CharlottePrattYT]

The apartment I chose actually came with retractable shades!

[@fonlai8721]

Hi! Im new to your channel! I cjose #3 because you said #3 had the door to the balcony which opened up : whereas all the apt didnt! Congrats on your new apt! It looks gorgeous!

[@FionaSheridan]

Yay congrats girl!! 🏡❤

[@CharlottePrattYT]

Thank you!! 🏡💕

[@JacksMcManus]

I love DC. My cousin lives there right now. ❤

[@DBCOOPER888]

The fishbowl apartment was really weird.

[@jancarlson2165]

I thought id watched your U of M movin in! One of them for sure. As soon as i saw your Dad on this vlog, its been a couple if years i think?, and did you have that littke skinny bedside table in Ann Arbor too? So wild. Im glad you picked this apartment! ❤

[@preetisridharan7196]

God bless you dear C ❤🎉😊

[@somethinggood-sy1ed]

Unsolicited design advice: Bedroom. What works. Dresser, mirror, shelves. What doesn't work, everything else. Do one large piece of graphic art on the shelves. Bright colors. Get a headboard or a metal frame bed. Remove lights, fake plants and other wall pieces. Go with neutral bedding. One lamp on either side of bed. Living area. It's dark, it can handle bright colors. Think oranges reds yellows hot pinks. Light wood is best for shelf and TV stand. Just my opinion which I realize no one asked for. Overall too many small scale pieces. Do a few large scale decor items instead.

[@Fluxxxx]

This is no hate to you but that ‘balcony’ is sending me 😭 Immediately I saw apartment 3, I knew it was the one. Could see the balcony wall beside you

[@AnggiSahamCantik]

Hehehe apartement number 3 is also my fav. 🎉 wish you a good time ❤

[@saintwah]

I hope you actually considered Arlington before making a selection

[@cristinasujoy]

That’s the one I loved too! Hope you enjoy it, it’s beautiful!

[@leighharris5955]

You chose the best one

[@Ali-gb7mf]

Good luck Charlotte. 🍹

[@budgetwithrenay2419]

I guessed right;( the balcony won you over)! Congrats!

[@CharlottePrattYT]

Thank you! The balancing definitely won me over!

[@ruebennomura9143]

Hope you find a good apartment for you

[@stuartgraham8496]

There is such a thing as drapes

[@winkie4life]

Waterfront is terrible location if you are concerned with safety

[@tyerraful]

What was the name of the one you thought had too many windows?! I’m going dc apartment shopping on Saturday! Please help me lol

[@Tomi-xs9qz]

Can you pls name the buildings you didn’t choose?

[@Phara8471]

My bet was Apt#3 and i got it right!

[@CharlottePrattYT]

Yayyy good guess!!

[@maddscientist3170]

good thing you didn't move to NYC...a studio apartment is twice the cost of $2300 without the amenities, doorman, W/D, parking, gyms, or anything else

[@CharlottePrattYT]

Yeah I was lucky to find a place that had everything I wanted and fit my budget!

[@Tierrah-i6c]

I want to find safe neighborhoods but I don’t know where to look can someone give recommendations

[@monalisaoflagos]

#5 did it for me

[@DANIYAL-KHAN-m6q]

Assalam Alaikum how are you my name is Daniyal Javed I am from Pakistan I watch your videos very much and I am also a big fan of yours I will come to New York City after some time and would love to meet you ❤❤

[@kwakyenadesh3046]

I guessed correctly 😊

[@Waltaere]

Charlotteee 😃

[@c_rob1]

Never heard of a jr apt lol

[@dustinnguyen5901]

I am living in one. Just a roundabout way of saying studio.

[@roseebud]

Around 500sqft for $2200? 😧 Considering how small that is, that's insane. Here I can get that for $800 a month!

[@jchung5066]

why dc?

[@live_in_thejoy]

DC crime is RIDICULOUS! No thank you! And I’ve been here all my life and it’s probably the worst. It’s been right now since the 90s, which is sad.

[@joaquinjr2570]

This video makes northern New Jersey look cheap

[@CharlottePrattYT]

dc is quite expensive lol 😅

[@GiGiLaverde]

Anybody know the name of build 4???

[@troyaichele2921]

I lost track of how menu times she said safe or secure lmao 🙄🙄 if your so scared move somewhere else lol

[@arese-]

Couldn't you install curtains? 19:00

[@CharlottePrattYT]

yes, but they'd need to be closed all the time just to get a little privacy, which I feel like defeats the purpose of the big windows haha 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@camicamira89]

One of the most unsafe and overrated areas in DC. I work in the area and it is not good.

[@biplab2698]

🌹

[@destinyalannaofficial]

What neighborhoods would you say are the safest in DC?

[@nobodynothing00000]

you need to sell your car if you're going to live inside the district and you're not making at least 250k a year

[@snippetsofpam184]

[@Nikybeez]

My first apartment was in Dupont Circle. It was about $600 in the late 90's/early 00's. Tenant Associations tried to stop the scummy landlords from raising rents based on new land values, wanting real rent control. They all upped the rents before the deadlines to rent control and pushed out all the residents, and along with them all the interesting character and charm that made the neighborhoods unique. Y'know, the reason people wanted to live there... They moved in just to complain about the neighborhood, like noise as if they had no clue where they moving to. Who knew a big city would be noisy? 🙄 DC is just one big gentrified mess now, with violent crimes on the rise, team owners that threaten to move, and the cost of living is outrageous.

[@-anna-8834]

Why dont you just buy a vanity?

[@CharlottePrattYT]

for the amount of money I'm paying, I expect a bathroom counter 😅

[@vin2689ny]

Dc is awful if you’re worried about “safety” as well as the metro… a better option would have been Arlington or somewhere outside of DC.

[@JillyMae89]

These numbers are making me gag 😭 $2200 for 400 sqft??

[@CharlottePrattYT]

girl you and me both 😭

[@PunkFlamingos]

Lol parents dont cosign the lease on big girl apartments. If you are concerned about safety why did you choose an unsafe neighborhood?

[@CharlottePrattYT]

I didn't choose an unsafe neighborhood lol that was the whole point of choosing the neighborhood that I chose. Also, parents can absolutely cosign leases! If a young applicant doesn't have a long enough rental history, some buildings require a "guarantor" as insurance! that's what my dad did for me 💕

[@maddscientist3170]

#3

[@Seolhwaneul]

Wow, $2300 per month and you don’t have a job yet? Hoping you get a job soon because that is expensive 😭 I could never pay that for an apartment good golly

[@CharlottePrattYT]

It’s definitely pricy but I think worth it. And hoping to get a job soon, but I do have a cushion with my savings 🙌🏼
