This week I was in a condo selling for over a million dollars.  It was a beautiful condominium home with excellent views, a state of the art kitchen and all the upgrades one might expect ... except the unit didn't have a washer and dryer.

Because my office is in River Towers, and we also serve Belle View, I often confront the question of a washer and dryer in the unit. (Neither River Towers nor Belle View have laundry in the unit.) I've talked to the older residents of River Towers about this and surprisingly many of them resist the idea of putting laundry in the unit. They like their laundry-rooms right where they are---thank you very much.

This might seem baffling to some of the younger generation, but laundry rooms have a number of distinct advantages:

• community --- You get to know your neighbors in the laundry room. This creates a sense of community and you know who belongs in the secured areas and who is a stranger.
• maintenance --- You don't have to worry about buying a new washer when the old one breaks down. More importantly you don't have to worry about your personal laundry flooding a neighbor's condo.
• square footage --- Laundry takes up space. You have more space in your unit if you have a community laundry room
• more washers --- Many folks like to wait and do an entire week of laundry at one time. If you have a laundry room you're not limited to one small washer. You have many washers available.

In a luxury community, most people don't do their own laundry anyway, so they don't care if the laundry is outside the unit. My tip to folks who are shopping for homes in Northern Virginia: don't box yourself in. If you won't consider a unit with a laundry room, you're walking past some of the best neighborhoods in Northern VA.

Montebello is on the hill up over looking the Eisenhower Valley and the Potomac River. I took this picture yesterday while standing on a balcony at Hunting Creek Club. We were there to do a walk-through inspection for a sale that is closing tomorrow. The view here was actually very striking but I didn't take many pictures as I knew my camera wouldn't really do it justice. If you're seeking a nice view, proximity to the metro and you're trying to maintain a tight budget, Hunting Creek Club is a great one to consider.

If you need a balcony or patio in your condo, you've come to the right place. All four of these complexes have balconies or patios in most units. The Huntington Club, the Hunting Creek Club and Montebello all have balconies, patios or verandas in every single unit. Now obviously the new units have slightly more appealing balconies, but to sort them from top to bottom, this comparison focuses on the views.

If a good view is something you absolutely must have from your condo and balcony, you're best chance of finding that view is at Hunting Creek Club. Nearly every unit in the building offers a panorama over the city or toward the Potomac.  Some of these units have absolutely breathtaking views.  You must see them to appreciate them as 400 pixels of cyberspace can't approximate what you'll see.

You'll find good views at all the others. Many decks at Huntington Club look toward the US Patent & Trademark Office, the Carlyle skyline and the Masonic Temple at Shooter's Hill.  Montebello has many pleasant views into and above the treetops.  At the Midtowns you'll find a nice view here and there.  So, it is possible to find good views at any of the others. But at Hunting Creek Club you will consistently find sweeping and pleasant views.
