Living in 16th Street Heights in Washington D.C. is a much different experience than living in the bustling Columbia Heights community but homes in the more quiet area are in just as high demand.

Residents living in 16th Street Heights, roughly between 16th Street and Georgia Avenue just to the east of Rock Creek Park, reside in town homes and single-family homes with few restaurants and bars compared to other neighborhoods in Washington D.C. There are a wide variety of homes here with more town homes to the south and single-family homes to the north, and the area has a more spacious, serene feel with larger lots and yards.

For home buyers pursuing living in 16th Street Heights, homes on the market include a $350,000, 4BR, 1,624-square-foot home on…

Homes in Crestwood sit along quiet streets with lush manicured lawns. Even though it’s in the middle of DC, Crestwood feels suburban. The neighborhood is in Ward 4, north of Columbia Heights and Mount Pleasant. Crestwood is bordered by 16th Street, NW to the east and Rock Creek Park on the other three sides.

In 1938, Crestwood got its name and developers described it as “wooded country in the downtown residential district and only 10 minutes from the White House.” In the early days of the neighborhood, the homes were marketed as Washington Post Display Homes and Evening Star “Silver Star” Homes.

The new development on H Street, NE will be a mixed-use project to include new homes and retail on the 10,800-square-foot city-owned lot at 1300 H Street in Ward 6. It’s the former site of R.L.

After reviewing six proposals submitted in August, the Office of the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development awarded proposal rights to redevelop the site.

The new development will be a 30-unit residential building with 8,000 square feet of retail and 17 underground parking spaces with an industrial-style exterior.  Six of the 30 units will be reserved for affordable housing, ideally for artists and social entrepreneurs. The retail will include a…
