The Nationals will be playing 81 games at its shiny new stadium. Craigslist realtors have taken note with skyhigh asking prices and too many exclamation points.

The neighborhood surrounding the ballpark hasn’t changed all that much. It’s still mechanic shops and liquor stores. Aside from the ballpark, the new amenities include a Subway sandwich shop, a Starbucks, and a Five Guys. Those things are all great. Who doesn’t want to eat fresh? Who doesn’t like a super strong cup of coffee? Who can’t resist a juicy burger? But still—$579,000 for a town house?

This what you get according to the Craigslist ad:

There are others boasting their prominent location next to the ballpark: a rowhome is selling for $400,000. This one seems a little overpriced for the reduced asking of $399,000. And this three-bedroom condo for $315,000 just says it all:
