Washington DC goes by many names: the Nation’s Capital, the District, the City of Monuments, and lately, Millennial Mecca. With 670,000 residents in the city proper and six million across the greater metro area, it is one of the most educated, connected, and internationally diverse cities in the United States.
In this video, Plus Relocation’s Chris Pardo is joined by Neha Agarwal and Irene Ljungstrom from Go Destination Services, experts on the ground in DC, for a look at what it means to live and work in the District.
From the walkable neighborhoods of Dupont Circle and Logan Circle to the tree-lined streets of upper Northwest DC, the video dives into where different types of relocating employees tend to land, what they can expect to pay, and how DC’s rental market compares to other high-cost cities around the world.
For newcomers arriving from abroad, the video covers the early essentials: scheduling a Social Security appointment before you even land, opening a bank account, and navigating a city that is well-practiced at welcoming people from every corner of the world.
