How much does it cost to live where you live?

@Mr.Nylock

There are many of areas in PGC MD that are in a flood plain; you’re not really doing yourself any favors by living in a flood plain - and the amount you save on the house gets rolled into the required flood insurance you will need to have to obtain a mortgage.

The problem we had is that too many people want to live in PGC now. In Hyattsville, for example , we were getting beat by cash investors every time; anything in livable condition was not particularly affordable.

Not to mention the schools. . .

I’d like to talk more about about living in and around DC, but maybe I should start another thread.

I was at a coworker’s house in Lanham. ~$400k, 4 bedroom. Not a floodplain (I just checked; thank you for reminding me that’s necessary.) Her commute is the same as my metro trip if she leaves early, but not everyone can do that. Anyway, it’s a weird area. Not exactly sure how I should formulate an OP…
