I'm proud of my Alma Mater!
Before entering my career in real estate, I spent 3 years practicing law and received my legal training from none other than George Mason Law School. During most of the time attending classes at the campus near the Virginia Square metro, I lived in Ballston.
I rented an apartment. With my parents, I considered purchasing a condo. That was 1997. Unfortunately, I kept on renting.
Please don't make the same mistake that I did.
Here's why you should consider purchasing a condo near George Mason Law School:
- There are tons of condos within walking distance of George Mason Law School including buildings in the following areas: Clarendon, Virginia Square, Ballston.
- Additional condos are available on the Orange Line Metro in Courthouse and Rosslyn offering a convenient commute to school.
- Chances are when you graduate from George Mason Law School you will be working for a law firm in the D.C. area or some other legal job within the region.
-
Case in point: Condos that I looked at back in 1997 averaged about $164,000. Today those same condos are selling for an average of $513,000! More than tripled in 11 years!
- During law school, you have a built in pool of potential roommates to rent out a room in your condo and help with the mortgage payment until you graduate and start working as an attorney.
