800 4TH ST SW #S-212, WASHINGTON, DC 20024

This is a re-sale of a 1 bedroom/1bathroom unit at Potomac Place Tower which sits right next to the Southwest Waterfront metro station.  The nice part about Potomac Place Tower is how reasonable the monthly condo fee is.  The monthly fee on this unit is $340.  One of the main issues that has hurt the real esate values in Southwest Washington DC has been the high monthly fee's.(see Carrollsburg Condominium or Riverside fee's to understand what I am talking about!)

Five Things I Learned From Reading the August Consumer Reports
