Let's face it: DC is a difficult market for young professionals to buy into, but there are plenty of options in the rental market. And since it's Real Estate season, we're going to highlight some sweet rentals in various neighborhoods, starting with Columbia Heights. But remember the rental market is cut-throat, so if you (or a friend) are looking for a new pad and you see something you like, jump on it. Because who knows if it'll be around 24 hours later. Happy hunting.
