You're from the area and really can't tell that these are obvious scams? I've been in D.C. for eight years and rents were already stupid expensive back then.

It's good that you thought to ask before engaging with them, but no - you will not find any "decent" apartments for anything close to $1,000. (To be honest, ~$2k should probably be your baseline.)

I took this to mean you've only been gone for ~3 years. My bad!
