NARRATOR: Support for "If You Lived Here" comes from... ANNOUNCER: The Yuen Foundation.

Committed to bridging cultural differences within the greater Washington, D.C. community.

NARRATOR: And now, "If You Lived Here," a WETA original series.

RICARDO: Hey, DMV, I'm Ricardo.

I'm a native Washingtonian.

JEN: And I'm Jen.

I've lived in all four quadrants of the district.

RICARDO: We're best friends and we wanna show you around the DMV.

JEN: Today we're gonna go to three open houses.

RICARDO: We're going to try to guess each list price without going over.

JEN: And together we'll find out what it would be like...

BOTH: “If You Lived Here.” (doorbell) JEN: Look at all these trees.

RICARDO: I know.

JOEL: Jen and Ricardo, it's great to finally meet you in person.

JEN: Great to meet you, too, Joel.

Thank you so much for hosting us in Hill East.

JOEL: Thanks for coming to the neighborhood that I've called home for 25 years.

RICARDO: I think of this area, I think Capitol Hill.

What exactly are the boundaries of Hill East?

JOEL: Well, it's the same hill.

We just happen to live on the eastern half, from Pennsylvania Avenue all the way up to C Street and out to the Anacostia River flats on the eastern edge.

JEN: The first place I lived in the district, up 17th and C, so had no idea I was living in Hill East.

I imagine that's before people started calling it Hill East.

JOEL: I think that's right.

It's a relatively recent name for a collection of smaller neighborhoods.

RICARDO: Wow.

So that includes, like, uh, RFK and Armory area, yeah?

JOEL: That's exactly right.

RICARDO: Okay.

I used to go to the Armory all the time when I was a kid.

Every year, the circus would come, and it used to be one of the best traditions ever.

JOEL: Yeah.

We're actually gonna see a property today that's just steps away from where you used to go to the circus.

RICARDO: Joel, tell us about the commuter options for this area.

JOEL: There are two metro stops through the neighborhood for orange and blue.

There are on-ramps if you're heading to BW Parkway to the northeast or if you're headed to Virginia to the west across the bridges.

JEN: Joel, what's the typical home style in Hill East?

JOEL: This is primarily a neighborhood of row houses, and then in certain pockets, there are a small number of condominium options that are a great way to enter the neighborhood for smaller households.

JEN: Why don't we head over to house number one?

JOEL: Let's get started.

JEN: All right.

RICARDO: Fantastic.

(doorbell) JOEL: Welcome to property number one.

This is The Brinkley.

It's a 10-unit boutique condominium crafted from a mid-century apartment garden complex.

And there's a community garden in the alley directly behind.

It's similar to others that stretch along this 18th and 17th Street corridor of the city.

JEN: That would be a huge selling point for me.

I'm a big gardener.

I might choose this just to have that extra amenity of the garden.

JOEL: We're also one block from the Stadium-Armory Metro and the now-shuttered RFK Stadium.

The parking lots are evolving into fields.

We even have two brand new establishments, a Thai restaurant, an Irish pub, and that's just the beginnings of what neighbors are hoping to see more of as a neighborhood hub.

RICARDO: I can understand the appeal of having things that you can access all throughout the year that make the community stronger.

JEN: Yeah.

JOEL: Absolutely.

Today, we're gonna look at unit one, which is right at the terrace or garden level.

And it's gonna surprise you as you step inside with an airy feeling throughout a smart floor plan.

RICARDO: Thank you so much, and we will see you afterwards for the game.

JOEL: I look forward to it.

JEN: All right.

JOEL: Enjoy.

JEN: Thanks, Joel.

Oh, wow.

RICARDO: Oh.

JEN: This is airy.

RICARDO: Very bright and open and spacious.

You know what I like, Jen?

The louvered blinds.

JEN: Yeah.

RICARDO: I really like the big, chunky feel of it.

JEN: They feel special.

RICARDO: Yeah, and the maple floor helps with the open, airy feel.

It looks very contemporary.

JEN: Well, let's head on to my favorite room in every house.

RICARDO: The laundry.

JEN: Ew, the kitchen.

RICARDO: I'm kidding.

I'm kidding.

I know it's the kitchen.

JEN: Come on.

This is perfect.

RICARDO: Yeah.

I love the appliances.

I think these are nicely updated.

The dark cabinets and the light counter are a really nice touch.

JEN: Mm-hmm, and the backsplash brightens up the area, especially with the darker cabinets.

RICARDO: It's plenty of space here in the dining area.

JEN: They have this large hutch in here, which is great for storage... RICARDO: Yeah.

JEN: But the sky's kinda the limit in terms of you could do.

A bar, décor.

RICARDO: I could see myself in this kitchen.

Living the single life, this would totally work for me.

JEN: Yeah.

It's a little small for me, but if I was living alone, totally doable.

RICARDO: Well, let's see what's around the corner.

JEN: Okay.

Oh, look at this transom window here over the bathroom.

RICARDO: Oh, that's nice.

JEN: It's a historical element.

RICARDO: And the full-size bath.

I love the tile work.

I like the little cutout there.

JEN: It's super functional.

RICARDO: Yeah.

JEN: Little guest room.

RICARDO: Yeah.

Big windows.

JEN: Yeah, and I like what they did here by hiding the ductwork, but not lowering the entire ceiling 'cause it still gives you the kind of height and air that Joel was talking about.

RICARDO: All right, there's another transom window here.

BOTH: Oh.

JEN: This is nice size.

RICARDO: Two beautiful windows.

JEN: Enough ceiling height that you can have a ceiling fan, which, for me, is clutch.

RICARDO: Mm-hmm.

And plenty of storage, too.

JEN: But what is that?

RICARDO: That looks like extra storage.

JEN: Can you reach that?

RICARDO: Uh, let's see.

I can.

Is there anything in there?

JEN: No.

RICARDO: That's, like, seasonal storage.

JEN: Yeah, or the things that you wanna keep super secure maybe.

RICARDO: Yeah.

JEN: Man, this one's got some gems to it.

I'm actually struggling to come up with a number on this one.

RICARDO: It's gonna be a challenge, so let's find Joel and give it a shot.

JEN: Yeah, all right.

JOEL: Jen and Ricardo, all right.

JEN: Hey, Joel.

JOEL: What did you think?

RICARDO: It is nothing about this that makes you feel like you're underground or in a basement.

JEN: Right.

Especially given the higher ceilings, you can have a larger window and the transom windows above the doors was such a nice touch.

JOEL: These transoms guide light into each of the bedrooms, the touch that's inspired by row houses all through the neighborhood.

JEN: And then we liked the little extra storage above the closet, but I would need to find someplace to put my ladder because I don't think that I can call Ricardo to come over every time I needed to get in there.

(Ricardo laughs).

RICARDO: I also wanna compliment the maple floors.

They're light and they really also keep the space nice and open.

JOEL: That's right.

It lives a little more like a house than it does an apartment.

RICARDO: What's the condo fee on this property?

JOEL: Sure.

You don't have to maintain the exterior yourself.

$277 a month for this unit covers all of those things.

So to recap, two bedrooms, one full bath, 778 square feet.

The building was constructed in 1944, but it was completely rebuilt when it was converted to condos in 2013.

Can you guess the list price?

JEN: I do have a number in mind.

RICARDO: Okay, I'll let you go first.

JEN: Um, so I'm thinking 429,000.

JOEL: 429.

RICARDO: Okay.

JOEL: And you, sir?

RICARDO: I'm going to go a little higher.

I will say 445,000 JEN: Oh, okay.

JOEL: For this round, Ricardo wins.

RICARDO: Oh.

JOEL: He's closest to the list price of 459,000.

RICARDO: It makes total sense.

I can see it.

JOEL: Yeah.

RICARDO: It's a great property.

JOEL: Sounds like we might have a buyer.

JEN: Hey.

RICARDO: Hey, well, you know... (Jen laughs).

We'll, we'll talk later.

Let's look at a couple other properties first.

JOEL: Sounds great.

Let's go take a look.

JEN: All right.

TIM: Pierre L'Enfant designs the early drawings of Washington, DC.

He envisioned the neighborhood from the Capitol growing out towards the east.

If you've ever gone to, say, the Marais District of Paris, you have those arcades along the sides of the street, and we think that's what he intended, but the people didn't build around here.

The original plan was that Congress was gonna be the main focal point, but people wanted to be close to the presidency, so it was much more important to be closer to the White House than it was to the Capitol, so Hill East became a bit of a backwater.

The Civil War changed this area.

There was a huge influx of people, so that's where we become a city.

And now we need to bury the dead somewhere.

We need to have a jail somewhere, we need to have a morgue somewhere.

And so they look over here in Hill East.

No one's really living here and let's put some of that stuff along the Anacostia River.

You have a Pauper's Hospital, you have some cemeteries of which Congressional still exists.

Most notable, in the 1880s, the DC jail moves out here.

World War I really creates the real birth of this area as a neighborhood.

There's a tremendous infusion of people.

The Naval Act of 1916 drives the Navy to dramatically expand.

It has a lot more workers.

They're done living down by the Navy yard.

They come up this way.

They want to live somewhere a little bit nicer.

You also have the rise of the automobile.

More and more laborers at the Navy Yard can afford to have a car, so you're starting to see that growth in Hill East.

The trends that's happening recently that I find great is that we are seeing small businesses open and reopen in our neighborhood and I think that adds a lot of vitality as the city was originally designed.

SEAN: The Pretzel Bakery is a local bakery located in Hill East that specializes in soft pretzels and coffee.

I opened in 2012 because I'm from Philadelphia and pretzels are a big part of Philadelphia food culture.

Hi, good morning.

I saw an opportunity to bring something different to the neighborhood and I was like, "Where do I start?"

Well, let me learn how to make pretzels.

So I just started collecting pretzel recipes, as many as I could find, and worked the ingredients until I developed my own recipe and that's currently what we're making.

CUSTOMER: Thank you.

SEAN: One of the things that I'm most proud about is that we've been here long enough where kids that were coming here when they were six, seven years old are now working at the shop.

STAFF: Hi, Roger.

ROGER: Hey.

SEAN: And to them, the shop has always been here and that is what I set out to create when I opened The Pretzel Bakery.

(doorbell) RICARDO: And I love all the different colors.

JOEL: Welcome to property number two.

This is a 1916 row house built in a series of six.

This is its original footprint, but it's been renovated in phases inside.

JEN: What are the features of a federal-style row house?

JOEL: Sure.

I should say that it's a blend of styles.

In the older sections of Capitol Hill, closer to the Capitol, they were constructed in the 19th century.

They were narrow, they were Victorian, they had a lot of ornate bay fronts.

Here, what we find is cleaner lines.

We find eaves, we find front porches, and you're really able to look through the trees to the front gates of Congressional Cemetery.

It's not only a truly historic place if you're a history buff, but it's also a great place to stroll with your dog.

RICARDO: But what are we gonna find once we get inside?

JOEL: What you'll find is a really fascinating blend of new and old, some historic textures and original features, and then the casing around those windows with original Capitol Hill bullseye rosettes.

JEN: Well, I'm looking forward to finding all of these little hidden gems inside.

RICARDO: And we will see you afterwards for the game.

JOEL: I look forward to it.

JEN: Yeah, I need a win, so let's go.

JOEL: Let's do it.

(laughter) JEN: Eyes open.

All right.

Oh, this is big.

RICARDO: Oh, my gosh.

JEN: We have a really nice living room space and I love that there's enough room for a little dining area.

RICARDO: I love this wall, too.

This is so nice.

And it's all original.

Not painted over or anything.

JEN: They really would've just, like, taken all the life out of it.

RICARDO: And the charm.

What a great piece of history.

Yeah, and these floors, these are the original floors that he was talking about.

It looks like there's a wall here.

JEN: Oh, oh.

I like this better without the wall.

RICARDO: With the open concept.

JEN: Yeah, well, and I really like being able to just see all the way through.

You know, like, the flow in here is really good.

RICARDO: Yeah, let's flow into the kitchen.

JEN: Oh, okay.

Let's flow then.

The countertops make it feel modern.

I really like the color, too.

It's quartz greenish but grayish.

I think it's... RICARDO: Yeah, like the updated appliances.

JEN: Really nice gas range and I love the transom window, which I imagine is an original.

RICARDO: Yeah.

It's just a lovely feature.

JEN: And the original window casings are so charming with the rosettes.

They just really kind of make you feel the history.

RICARDO: Yeah, I love it.

It looks like there's a little bit of a patio out here, maybe some backyard space.

JEN: Whoa.

RICARDO: Oh.

JEN: I like the stonework a lot.

RICARDO: That's nice.

Plenty of space for seating out here.

You could add a grill.

JEN: Yeah, this feels low maintenance but high reward.

RICARDO: Mm-hmm.

So wanna go check out the basement?

JEN: Let's go.

RICARDO: Thank you.

JEN: Oh, geez, you might wanna watch your head.

RICARDO: Oh, okay.

JEN: I mean, this works for me.

RICARDO: I see.

JEN: This whole room feels very fresh.

RICARDO: Yeah, vinyl flooring.

Great for pets, it's great for kids.

JEN: Game night down here.

RICARDO: Yeah, if we had game night down here, I would have to sit the entire time.

JEN: Should we head back upstairs?

Watch your head, though.

Watch your head.

Watch your head.

RICARDO: All right.

JEN: Okay.

RICARDO: The wall comes all the way upstairs.

JEN: Oh.

RICARDO: And then the floor is different up here, too.

I think this is heart of pine.

JEN: And original.

RICARDO: And original, yeah.

JEN: Oh, I like how they have this set up as an office.

This built-in is really cool.

It makes it feel a little more modern.

Oh.

RICARDO: A full-size bath... JEN: And this is very refreshed.

RICARDO: Mm-hmm.

I might do two instead of three different tile shape.

JEN: Well, you know I love a honeycomb, so I'm gonna excuse it this time.

(Ricardo laughs).

JEN: All right.

RICARDO: Uh-huh, nice bedroom.

JEN: Maybe the guest or kid's room.

RICARDO: Mm-hmm.

Yeah, and great size window.

JEN: Cool.

RICARDO: Okay.

And here we have the primary.

JEN: Oh, this is nice.

This is big.

RICARDO: Yeah, it is.

And I love this little nook.

JEN: I could see a little reading chair over there.

RICARDO: And these window casings are so stylish.

JEN: I'm so glad that they kept them throughout the entire property.

RICARDO: So classy.

JEN: Really nice.

You know, I thought I had a number in mind, um, but now I'm not feeling so confident.

RICARDO: Oh, well, we gotta go get you some redemption.

JEN: All right, let's give it a try.

Let's go find Joel.

RICARDO: Okay.

JOEL: All right, Ricardo and Jen, what did you think?

RICARDO: I have to say, the first thing that I noticed that I loved was the brick wall.

JEN: Yeah, beautiful.

And the fact that they went all the way up and all the way back to the kitchen.

It really tells a story.

JOEL: This 1916 bricklayer never intended it to be ever seen again, but now their work is being appreciated.

JEN: Some other interesting touches were the window casings with the rosettes.

They really make you feel the history.

JOEL: That's right.

And I don't know if you noticed above the front and rear door, somethin' that looked familiar.

RICARDO: The transom.

JOEL: That's right.

It was certainly the inspiration for the condo developer that we saw earlier.

RICARDO: Yeah, that's such a classy feature.

JOEL: Absolutely, so we have three bedrooms, two full baths, 1,485 square feet across all three levels.

It was constructed in 1916 and renovated in stages since then.

Ricardo, what's your best guess?

RICARDO: I am going to guess 922,000.

JEN: Oh.

JOEL: Okay.

JEN: Very close to what I was thinking.

JOEL: Interesting guess.

RICARDO: Okay.

JEN: I'm thinking 930,000.

RICARDO: Okay.

JOEL: The correct answer is $927,700... RICARDO: Oh, no.

JOEL: Making Ricardo the victor for the second round.

JEN: I can't believe it.

RICARDO: I am excited for me.

I'm sorry for you.

(laughter).

JOEL: From here, we'll head to property number three.

It has just been given a complete top-to-bottom renovation.

JEN: Oh.

JOEL: So let's go take a look.

RICARDO: I cannot wait.

JEN: Yeah, let's head out.

Come on.

RICARDO: Right.

AJ: Pierre L'Enfant, as much as his plan is celebrated here, he did not have a place for a burial ground and so a group of citizens purchased this parcel of land here and it became Washington Parish Burial Ground.

We're about a mile and a half, two miles away from the Capitol and back then, Congressmen, when they die, there's no place for them to go because there's no embalming, there's no refrigeration, and importantly there's no transportation infrastructure to get them home.

Washington Parish Burial Ground was the first available option for them.

They started interring a lot more of these Congressmen and it really became the first cemetery of national memory.

And that led to the name by the 1820s of Congressional Cemetery.

The cemetery's history reflects our nation's history and it really allows us this remarkable portal into the past, almost like a museum of people.

We have Belva Lockwood.

She's the first woman to legally run for president and we of course have J. Edgar Hoover, first director of the FBI.

We have Mathew Brady, the father of photojournalism.

What would a Mathew Brady memorial be without a camera?

And we have John Philip Sousa, "The March King," the author of so many iconic pieces of American march music.

And every year on his birthday, November 6, the band that he led, the Marine band, actually comes here and plays his own music for him.

(applause) JACKIE: Our cemetery is really more than a cemetery.

We're a community hub, we're a place for people to gather and we're a place that offers really special and unique programming for our community.

In the 1980s and 1990s the cemetery really was an unsavory place and at that time a number of neighbors decided that they wanted to save the place.

And so they started walking their dogs through the property and then taxing each other for the privilege to do so.

They took those membership dues and then used that to be able to cut the grass and maintain the property.

Today, the K9 Corps is our membership program.

We have about 1,100 dogs who are members and we are also very well known for our DC Beekeeping Alliance partnership.

BARRY: Congressional Cemetery is an amazing place for beekeeping.

You have the Anacostia River right here on your left.

Bees like to forage within two miles and there's so many flowering trees here.

You couldn't manufacture something that happened naturally.

And a typical honeyhive might contain eight or ten frames and we can remove those frames and add frames.

It's like a log in a tree, except the tree doesn't move, but we do.

Every year we harvest honey.

We lift up each of the frames and there's wax over all the honey.

The volunteers scrape the wax off, then it goes into a centrifugal force barrel.

And as we turn the crank, the frames go around, the honey is thrown to the side walls, comes down to the bottom.

We open up the spigot and the honey just flows out.

We bottle it right here on the premises and it's ready to be consumed immediately.

AJ: What I think really brings us together and unites us is community.

We are a place for the community to come together.

(doorbell) JEN: This looks brand new.

RICARDO: Yeah.

JOEL: Welcome to house number three.

While we're very close to house number two, here we're even more walkable.

Just a few moments stroll to Safeway, to Potomac Avenue Metro, but then we've got the bustling bonus of The Roost food hall.

RICARDO: Joel, I noticed the roof line has this funky little extra window at the top.

What's that about?

JOEL: That's right.

This was effectively for show.

It was to make the house look taller but I think you'll see it functions quite differently now.

JEN: Oh, so maybe some usable space?

JOEL: That's right.

So while the exterior of this house is historic, inside it's all-new, including the design choices.

So enjoy what some folks call a little jewelry.

RICARDO: I'm excited to hear about some bling.

JEN: And we'll meet you right after for the game?

JOEL: Absolutely.

Enjoy and I look forward to it.

JEN: All right.

RICARDO: Awesome.

Can't wait to see this bling.

JEN: I'm excited about this one.

Oh, wow.

We are definitely in present day.

RICARDO: This is a great renovation.

One of the first things I notice is the floating stairs.

They really do keep the space open.

They keep the light flowing through.

JEN: And they look really great next to this modern take on wainscoting here on this accent wall.

RICARDO: And I think this wall over here with the oak paneling is also a nice touch.

Would you like to check out this centrally located kitchen?

JEN: Yes, let's go see this centerpiece.

RICARDO: It's classy.

I love this island.

It's huge.

JEN: Yeah, so the waterfall feature.

RICARDO: Mm-hmm.

JEN: Really nice.

I love a buffet moment, a mimosa station.

(laughs) RICARDO: Yeah, and you got so much seating on the other side.

JEN: Yeah, I could certainly see sitting around here with friends and these gold accents are really tying it all together for me.

RICARDO: Yeah, this is some bling that I could get used to.

And I love how the light fixtures pick up the gold bling as well.

JEN: Yeah.

And speaking of kind of picking it up, it looks like they're taking the counter all the way up the way up the wall.

Rather than a backsplash, just matching it to the counter.

It seems very seamless and really ties in with the waterfall countertop.

RICARDO: Yeah, it's all thought out as a unified space.

JEN: And then into this dining room.

RICARDO: And this bay window.

What a great view.

JEN: And when I see that light fixture, I feel like we are in the future.

That would not typically be my style, but for some reason I'm absolutely in love with it in here.

But I have to admit, I'm a little distracted by this door over here.

Oh.

RICARDO: Oh, wow.

JEN: Okay, so temperature-controlled wine closet.

RICARDO: Nice.

JEN: That's a first for me.

(laughs) RICARDO: Never seen that.

I love red wine, so I would have a place to keep it all.

JEN: Yeah, I might prefer it to be half the size and maybe have storage here for all of my wine glasses.

And I also really like this little seating area here with the hooks.

I mean, now that I'm peeking out this door, I'm seeing that this probably is gonna be your main entrance, um, because it looks like there's two parking spots back here.

RICARDO: You're kidding.

JEN: No.

RICARDO: Oh, wow.

Look at that.

Now, that's coveted.

JEN: Especially in the district.

RICARDO: Mm-hmm.

JEN: Really hard to find.

And how nice to have this elevated area in the back and a porch in the front.

RICARDO: That's rare.

JEN: All right, let's keep going.

RICARDO: Okey-doke.

JEN: Oh, wait.

RICARDO: Wait, is this a storage?

JEN: Let's see.

Oh, half bath.

Oh, wow.

RICARDO: I love that wallpaper.

JEN: Oh, with the gold accents on the vanity and the wood paneling.

It's just kind of tying it all together.

RICARDO: Yeah, with the quartz countertop as well.

JEN: Really thoughtful.

RICARDO: Mm-hmm.

JEN: I really like how the accent wall goes all the way up.

Oh, all right, I'll take this one.

RICARDO: Okay, I'll take this one.

JEN: Okay.

This is the single, but still plenty of room for guests.

RICARDO: Very bright.

Like, nice vertical space.

A double bed in here.

JEN: All right.

Really beautiful marble tile in the shower.

It's paired with another texture tile on the floor.

I like them both.

I'm just not sure I like them together.

RICARDO: I might pick up a brown tile to go in the floor to match with the wall tile 'cause I really do like that wall tile.

JEN: And that would really tie in the floating vanity and the color on the built-ins.

RICARDO: Yeah.

JEN: Beautiful full bath.

RICARDO: Absolutely.

JEN: Let's see what we got going here.

RICARDO: No doubt.

Okay.

JEN: Oh, it's bright over here.

RICARDO: Oh, check out the skylight.

JEN: That is a really thoughtful feature because this could be really dark.

RICARDO: Great surprise.

JEN: What's in here?

Oh.

RICARDO: Oh, this tile work is really, really tasteful.

I like this.

JEN: Yeah, I think this is my favorite tile marriage.

RICARDO: It does give some masculine vibes to me, but I actually really, really like it.

JEN: It's working for me because of the gold accent.

RICARDO: Yeah.

JEN: Even though it has a masculine energy, I'll go ahead and take it.

(laughs) RICARDO: Ah.

JEN: Whoa.

RICARDO: This is a great primary.

JEN: Look at these high ceilings.

RICARDO: And these dormer windows.

Love the natural light.

JEN: And again, the oak paneling from all the other levels.

It really ties it all together.

RICARDO: Yeah, the word of the day is cohesion with this property.

JEN: I feel like we've really traveled through time today in each of these three properties.

RICARDO: I agree and I think it is time to get me a third win.

JEN: Whoa, dude.

Wow, I like your confidence.

Let's go find Joel and see what happens.

RICARDO: Let's do it.

JOEL: Ricardo, Jen, what did you think of house number three?

JEN: We really went through time I think between house number two and house number three and this house feels super modern.

RICARDO: The level of bling in here is definitely at the top.

JEN: 14-karat bling throughout.

RICARDO: The word that kept coming up for me was cohesion.

JEN: Mm-hmm.

RICARDO: It just feels like from every floor there are elements that really tie it together.

JOEL: And how about that dormer window that we talked about?

RICARDO: That was beautiful and you had the whole wall of windows with so much light.

It was so great.

JEN: It was nice to finally see those windows serve a function and not just be for look.

RICARDO: Yeah.

JOEL: Here we have four bedrooms, three and a half baths, 2,235 finished square feet.

Constructed in 1924 and renovated 2024.

JEN: My redemption guess for property number three is 1,275,000.

JOEL: Okay.

And you, Ricardo?

RICARDO: I am going to guess 1,325,000.

JOEL: And the correct list price is 1,334,900, making Ricardo a three-time winner.

RICARDO: What?

JEN: No.

JOEL: Sorry, Jen.

JEN: Shut out.

RICARDO: I cannot believe it.

JOEL: He's good at this.

RICARDO: Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Thank you, Joel.

JOEL: Thanks for sharing my neighborhood for a day and now I would love for us to meet some neighbors at Trusty's Tavern.

Let's take a stroll.

JEN: All right.

RICARDO: All right.

I could use a hero's drink.

JOEL: Ooh, sounds like Ricardo's buying.

(laughter) SEAN: If you lived here, you would know that the movie "Minority Report" was filmed just a block from my bakery.

It's right across the street from the park.

TIM: If you lived here, you would know that our cemetery, Congressional Cemetery, is a park and gathering spot for all of us residents.

SEAN: If you lived here, I would tell you to go for a nice walk around the neighborhood, enjoy some of the wonderful dogs and pets, and people just going around and being people.

And go to The Roost and get a nice frosty beer and a slice of pizza.

That's one of my favorite things to do.
