Vacancy

by Will Wilkinson on July 18, 2004

If you, or someone you know, is looking for a place to live in Washington, DC starting in September, there is a yet-unfilled vacancy at the Westminnie House. 934 Westminster is ONE (convoluted) block’s distance from the U St/Cardozo/African American Civil War Memorial metro stop. We’re within a leisurely five minute stroll of some of DC’s best music venues: 9:30, Black Cat, Velvet Lounge, DC9, Bohemian Caverns, and more. The restaurants and bars of a rapidly gentrifying U St are RIGHT THERE. Walk to DuPont: 15 minutes. Walk to Adams Morgan: 15 minutes. Walk Downtown: 15-20 minutes. Giant (ugh) and Whole Foods supermarkets are nearby.

Preferred roomates are 20-to-early-30-something young professional intellectual types (e.g., lettered in debate or quiz bowl). Your roommates would include two researchers at the Urban Institute and a UMD philosophy grad student.

Query in the comments, or to flybottle [[at]] willwilkinson [[dot]] net.

[Update: The vacancy has been filled. Thanks for your interest.]

    And if you need furniture, I'm pretty much giving some away: bed, couch, Pottery Barn coffee table that I ended up with on a "scratch it and buy it" policy...

    Above, the word "spacious" should be "gorgeous."

    This slot is the best deal in DC. The house is roomy and spacious on the inside. The roommates are, without exception, fascinating, bright, multi-talented, and kind. Rent is cheap. And the neighborhood is a hidden gem--secluded, yet in the middle of everything. I would recommend this place to anyone.

    Good picture.
  • If applicants catch the full import of the statement precisely in the middle of the lease, then we regard them as having suspiciously strong exegetical skills.

    Do you screen for Straussians? ;)
