House Hunting Guide for Washington Dc, Maryland and Virginia (D.M.V.) HOUSE HUNTING GUIDE FOR WASHINGTON DC, MARYLAND AND VIRGINIA (D.M.V.) ON BEHALF OF THE D.M.V.’S MILITARY FAMILY SERVICES TEAM, WELCOME! Your HHT (House Hunting Trip) is an exciting opportunity for you to prepare for life in the D.M.V., but familiarizing yourself with all the necessary information to make the right decisions can be overwhelming. We hope this guide will help provide the essential information to make the process as seamless as possible. Throughout, our team is here to support you, so never hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns. Once again, Welcome to the D.M.V.! Michelle Szkwarek Military Family Services Community Coordinator - Washington, D.C. Canadian Forces Morale and Welfare Services / Government of Canada [email protected] / Cell: 253-737-8714 / Tel.: 202-448-6352 / CSN: 312-251-3339 / MITNET: 456- 3339 Getting Downtown From the Airport There are three airports that service the Washington, DC area: W ashington Dulles International Airport (IAD) in Dulles, Virginia – approximately 45-60 minutes from the Embassy - 100 USD in taxi Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) in Arlington, Virginia – approximately 15 minutes from the Embassy – 15 USD in taxi Baltimore/Washington International Airport (BWI) in Maryland – approximately one hour from the Embassy – 100 USD in Taxi Flights arriving directly to Washington from outside North America will likely arrive at either IAD or BWI; DCA only services flights to Canada and the US. Each of these airports has a number of options to get to the city, including taxis, shuttles, metro, train and Uber (usually cheaper than taxi services). The Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority lists ground transportation options at each airport. What To Consider When Looking for a Home Personal Priorities and Housing Criteria When assessing the neighborhood and type of accommodation you want to target, it may be useful to outline your personal preferences and priorities. Schools and commute times should be among the top criteria in choosing a property. No single property will be perfect, but clearly defining you priorities will help target the neighborhoods and accommodation best suited to you.

Tips on finding a pet-friendly rental Schooling considerations Education options will be a primary consideration for families when selecting a neighborhood. In the US, public school boundaries are very strictly enforced, whereas private schools have no boundary constraints. You are strongly advised to read the Education Report before your HHT and discuss your educational requirements with the Children’s Education Management Clerk. You can find the Education Report in the “Important Local Links” section of the following site: https://www.cafconnection.ca/United-States/Locations/D-C-Capital-Region-(D-C-,-VA,-MD)- en/Important-Local-Links.aspx Once you have identified the school(s) that you are interested in, you can visit the School Boards websites for detailed information on the catchment neighbourhoods and target these neighborhoods during your HHT. The boundaries are designated by level: elementary (kindergarten to grades 5/6), middle school (grades 6 to 8) and high school (grades 9-12). Schools may require different medical certifications, particularly if they are involved in extra- curricular sports. During the HHT, you should meet with the school and also take the opportunity to inquire about their specific medical requirements and whether a Canadian doctor’s certificate will be adequate or if a local doctor will be required. Walking, Commuting and DC Traffic Even if you live in the District, commuting will likely be one of the most significant adjustments you make to life in Washington. The Washington Metropolitan Area rates as one of the top-five WORST commuting cities in the USA. Although the distances may be short, arteries become quickly congested in rush hour and in the event of traffic incidents, traffic slows to a stand-still. Schooling, dependent job locations, and access to public transport will all play a factor in determining whether a property’s location will be manageable from day to day. In many neighborhoods in the district or near metro stations, you may find walking to amenities preferable to finding parking, leading them to live without a car. Walk scores (inset above) and the neighborhood links (link to neighborhoods) will provide key information on this option. Commuting and Walk Score Calculators .Google Maps .How long is your commute - map .Washington Transit - Trip Planner Bringing Pets Pets are another important consideration in the housing search as not all rental properties welcome pets. If a listing indicates “no pets”, contact the owner/agent to inquire on their flexibility. Property owners may be flexible depending on the lease terms and the type/size of pet that you have. Security When selecting your new home, take the time to evaluate the safety of your neighborhood by consulting crime reports and following these tips: 1. Prior to signing the lease for your chosen home it is essential to visit the area at different times of day, particularly in the late evening and on a Friday/Saturday night if possible. Some neighborhoods (especially downtown DC) can dramatically change in mood after daylight hours. 2. Should you feel unsafe, you are strongly advised to reconsider whether to move ahead with the property. Your support unit can advise if you have any concerns. Crime reports: • Online source of crime information • Family Watchdog House Hunting Approaches: Online tools The following is a list of frequently used online house hunting resources. We recommend that you browse several of these sites as their inventories will vary. Start early and keep notes! Well before your HHT, you are encouraged to view listings in your desired neighbourhood to help give you a sense of the type of properties that are typically available. When visiting multiple properties, it is likely that your perspective will change. Thus, take extensive notes of each visit as this will help make a more balanced decision. Also, a detailed record of properties is required in the event you seek a rent ceiling exception. Online listings are not always quick to update whether a property has been rented and queries to landlords sometimes may go unanswered. www.zillow.com www.livelovely.com www.trulia.com www.hotpads.com www.padmapper.c www.homesdatabase.com om www.washingtonpost.com/wp- www.craigslist.org www.militarybyowner.com www.realtor.com www.urbanigloo.com Looking for Properties on Your Own Given the increasing popularity of online property-search tools, more and more families manage their house-hunting on their own, particularly in the District of Columbia. Working with a Realtor Many families moving to the Washington area plan to use the services of a real estate agent to assist them in securing accommodations. Real estate agents have access to more up-to-date information, can better schedule itinerary of visits, know the neighborhoods, and can advise you on the pros and cons of various options. If you have a short time frame, an agent will help you maximize your time. Be mindful that once you have applied for a house, a realtor may lose interest in showing you additional locations when the realtor is guaranteed to earn a commission. Families looking in the suburbs of Virginia, Northwest DC, or Maryland often have more success when working with a real estate agent. For a list of recommended realtors contact the F&E Clerk Will French at [email protected]. Helpful Tips for Working with an Agent 1. Ensure your agent is licensed for all areas/states you wish to search 2. Request a sample itinerary of properties from your agent prior to the HHT 3. Do not limit your search to only the properties proposed by the agent: search online too! 4. Avoid divulging your maximum rent ceiling 5. Ask CDLS(W) for a recommended agent or ensure that your agent speaks to CDLS(W) regarding mandatory clauses and parameters Neighborhoods When we asked local families “What is the #1 thing you wish you had known prior to moving here?”, their overwhelming response was that they wished they had known more about the neighborhoods where most CAF Members live in the D.M.V. The following neighborhood descriptions have been developed by local Canadian volunteers, Military Family Services and Embassy Staff. Other ways to get local feedback and recommendations: - Be part of our Facebook Group. - Be assigned a local “CAF Family Mentor” (a local volunteer that we will match to you based on location, family demographics, employment, interests, etc). To participate in our Facebook Group or Mentorship Program, simply contact your Military Family Services Coordinator at [email protected]. Washington, DC The DC area is a great place to live, with a variety of choices for lodging, recreation, and lifestyles. Living in the district affords CAF Members proximity to work and to a vibrant urban setting. Capitol Hill Popular with: Singles, Couples – presently no couples with children reside in D.C. Location: East of the Embassy stretching 14 blocks east from the Capitol Building Housing types: 2-3 bedroom row-homes Vintage, Centenary (brick, hardwood floors, and crown mouldings) Parking: Limited off-street parking On-street parking permit required but parking can be challenging Amenities/Highlights: Walk to restaurants, shops, dry cleaners, and grocery stores Eastern Market: tourist attracting selling food, art and antiques Lincoln Park: popular location for dog walkers.

  • Restore Mass Ave Tree Plaza Press Release
    Re-greening Embassy Row restoremassave.org RESTORE MASS AVE PROPOSES TREE PLAZA BY PNC BANK ON DUPONT CIRCLE Nonprofit unveils plan for shaded space at city’s most popular Capital Bikeshare station EMBARGOED until November 20, 9 am 2015 | Download pdf RMA Contact: Carole Feld [email protected] | 202-415-2669 | More at restoremassave.org/dupont-tree-plaza/ WASHINGTON DC (November 20, 2015) Today Restore Mass Ave (RMA), a nonprofit working to restore the historic tree canopy and landscape of Embassy Row, released its Tree Plaza Concept Plan. The plan envisions how the barren city sidewalk on Massachusetts Avenue by the PNC Bank Dupont Circle branch can be planted with nine new shade trees. Now the 7,100-square-foot sidewalk area at 1913 Massachusetts Avenue NW, in the heart of the Dupont Circle neighborhood, encompasses a bank entrance and ATM, a future entrance of the Dupont Underground, the city’s busiest Capital Bikeshare station — and just two struggling trees. LEFT: Proposed Tree Plaza looking east. RMA sign is at far left. Leo A Daly/Restore Mass Ave RMA has been planting and arranging care for trees west from 20th Street along Massachusetts Avenue NW to Wisconsin Avenue NW since 2006. To complete its re-greening of Embassy Row, the group now proposes that the current heat island by the bank be transformed into a shaded, inviting community space. The pervious area would quadruple from 4 to 16 percent thanks to the additional tree boxes and the enlarged lawn near the bank’s parking lot. The plaza area and proposed new tree sites are entirely on city land.

  • ~ 1 ~ the EMBASSY PRESENCE in WASHINGTON, D.C. Priscilla R. Linn
    Living in Washington, D.C. Embassies photo THE EMBASSY PRESENCE IN WASHINGTON, D.C. Priscilla R. Linn May 29, 2014 Finding embassies on a map of Washington, D.C. is a relatively straightforward task. They lie in northwest quadrant of one of the smallest capitals in the world, often lining up along (or close to) the avenues that city planner Pierre L’Enfant drew up over 200 years ago. Other locations in Washington, D.C. could, in principle, welcome many foreign missions. Reasons for the concentration of embassies in Washington hinge on the need to be close to the White House, U.S. Department of State, Congress, and international organizations. Embassies also desire a location in a prestigious neighborhood that can enhance both national identity and standing among nations in the international community. Essential diplomatic terms Since diplomacy often requires a specific vocabulary, this essay will clarify the meaning of several words used here. The Diplomat’s Dictionary defines the word “embassy” as: “The residence of an ambassador.” The Dictionary states that in loose, contemporary usage, the word “embassy” also refers to the office building of the ambassador and his senior staff. For clarity, this essay follows the “loose contemporary usage” for “embassy,” and does not ~ 1 ~ Map from National Area Planning Commission report, Foreign Missions and International Organizations in Washington, D.C. http://www.ncpc.gov/DocumentDepot/Publications/ForeignMissions/Foreign_Missions_Overview.pdf (accessed May 15, 2014) ~ 2 ~ include ambassadors’ residences in the discussion. An embassy also encompasses the diplomatic corps that conducts foreign affairs from the embassy building. People refer to the embassy office building as a “chancery,” where an ambassador and his principal staff conduct diplomatic business.
