Moving to Washington DC - How Much it COSTS 💰

[@Leonardo15Baros]

Thank you for the video. It’s very helpful! 🙏🏾

[@TheMeganDaily]

This is SUCH a useful topic!

[@TripHacksDC]

Appreciate the vote of confidence 😁

[@kaycox5555]

Helpful....thank you and MERRY CHRISTMAS!

[@TripHacksDC]

Same to you!

[@bostonelevatorsaviation]

Agreed, FiOS by verizon is absolutely amazing. I just got their gig speeds, and they are better than comcast. But good video as usual

[@TripHacksDC]

Thanks!

You should do an update everything is half even 80% off now unlike Los Angeles, where I'm coming from rents keep going higher

[@karenstrickland9958]

I’m finding it’s about the same as San Diego California, where I’m from!!!!

[@TripHacksDC]

Wish we had that nice San Diego weather around here 🌞

[@clausellmathis3805]

When is the cheapest time to visit ? (As far as hotels)

[@TripHacksDC]

The week of thanksgiving

[@xippetotectheflayedgod6179]

Do you carry groceries with you on the Metro or on you bicycle? Do you use Uber/Lyft for the once a week trip to the Harris Teeter? It seems like this would be a downside of not owning a car.

[@TripHacksDC]

I personally walk but others use a bike with large panniers or other creative solutions.

[@KeziahWestwood]

Same for rental, buying and utilities in my current area. I currently live in Tampa and the rental prices have skyrocketed here.

[@TripHacksDC]

Interesting

[@KeziahWestwood]

Also we don’t have good public transportation, with that being said you will pay more for transportation (gas, Uber/Lyft, bus) and the commute around the city as well. Tampa also have longer wait time for transportation options that you will choose. Ex: If you’re looking to live/work in the South Tampa area (Bayshore, Davis/Harbor Island, Palma Ceia, Culbreath Isle, Sunset Park) etc prices are high! Seminole/Tampa Heights has become trendy and prices have skyrocketed there as well.

[@TripHacksDC]

Yes that is a bummer. My housing costs are high but transportation costs extremely low so it kind of cancels out.

@@KeziahWestwood so funny I just moved to dc from that area St. Petersburg to be specific, after covid I was like wth! And so many people are moving there. Town and country in Tampa still maybe relatively reasonable 🤷🏾‍♀️

i am moving to DC for a role at the world bank and i am from a developing south asian country.

[@robertajenkins2591]

Hey man, heading to DC in March and was wondering if you had recommendations for steakhouses near Capital One Arena. I’ve seen plenty of options online but would rather get an opinion from a local like you.

[@TripHacksDC]

I don't really eat at steakhouses (DC has way better options) but if I was I'd probably go to Charlie Palmer Steak.

[@robertajenkins2591]

@@TripHacksDC what options in DC would you say are better?

[@johnhancock3881]

The Lincoln Memorial will be celebrating its 100th anniversary next year! I hope to see a video about it soon.

[@TripHacksDC]

Stay tuned!

[@rustina3]

I’m from Salt Lake City, UT and everything is about the same except housing - about 2x more expensive to live in DC than in Salt Lake 😳

[@AmazinMusicNYC]

I’m from Brooklyn ny and I’m trying to find a nice studio apartment in D.C.

[@richardtran91]

I’m from San Diego might be moving to DC for a job I wonder what’s the difference haha

[@JhonnyBoi]

Big difference.

[@rcastellas]

Very useful video! I am moving to DC in a couple of months. What are the websites or apps you use to search for housing?

[@c394830]

My, my. DC is just as expensive as LA!

[@TripHacksDC]

Yep

[@austina701]

This is all a little more expensive than Parma Ohio

[@TripHacksDC]

Wonder how it compares to Parma Italy.
