If You Lived Here

WETA's house-hunting series spotlights a wide array of neighborhoods and properties throughout the national capital area while celebrating each area’s history, culture, notable places and flavor. Season 4 introduces new hosts Jen Osborn and Ricardo Frederick Evans who tour homes and communities with local realtors, exploring the D.C. Metro region one neighborhood at a time.

In Season 4, new series hosts Jennifer (Jen) Osborn and Ricardo Frederick Evans join a local realtor to tour three homes in each episode and immerse themselves in the communities of the D.C. Metro region one neighborhood at a time. 

Jen and Ricardo visit 12 neighborhoods this season, including Burke, Fairfax, Occoquan/Lorton, and South Arlington in Virginia; Cleveland Park, Hill East, Woodridge/Langdon, and Dupont Circle in Washington, D.C.; and College Park, Gaithersburg, Frederick, and Ellicott City in Maryland. 

The first six episodes of Season 4 of If You Lived Here will air on Mondays at 9 p.m. on WETA PBS and 8 p.m. on WETA Metro, from Oct. 28 through Dec. 9, with no airings on Nov. 18. Six more episodes will premiere in early 2025.

About the Hosts
