Properties in Brightwood and Shepherd Park enjoy close proximity to city living within a community that has a very suburban feel. Properties in Brightwood and Shepherd Park, which are at the northern tip of the Washington D.C., are also quite close to Rock Creek Park.

The majority of properties in Brightwood and Shepherd Park are detached, single-family homes and these listings are on the rise in recent months, according to RealEstate Business Intelligence. Because of their larger size, homes here are significantly more expensive than the smaller condo listings common in downtown Washington D.C. Many of these homes are older, remodeled homes but they are in superb condition.

For example, a five-bedroom, 3,734-square-foot home at 7573 lists for…

This is a single family home in Woodridge.  The total sq ft is 2,002 w/ 1,386 of that being above grade.  This is a great home to renovate.  The biggest challenge with this property is the tenant that is occupying it.  That tenant would need to be removed prior to purchasing it if you are an investor.  Homeowners can give them a 90 day notice to vacate if they are occupying the property.

List Price: $299,000

The Brightwood Walmart is coming to Georgia Avenue, NW in Ward 4 near Missouri Avenue.  It will be the first Walmart to open in the District.  The development project began in September 2011, but has been plagued by delays from various opponents.

The new Brightwood Walmart development sits on the site of the former Curtis Chevrolet dealership. After demolition began, residents sought protected status for the site from the Historic Preservation Board.  But development continued after the application was denied.

In February, Occupy DC and Respect DC teamed up to stage a demonstration at the Brightwood Walmart construction site.  The protest prevented some crews from entering the construction site that day, but did not end the project.

Even after the…

How much will the Kennedy Street Federal Streetscape Funds Help Change the Area?

The 1 mile stretch of Kennedy Street NW from Georgia Avenue to North Capitol Street has always been an eye sore and a forgotten about commercial corridor.  The Federal government announced on August 7, 2012 that they will designate a million dollars towards upgrading the streetscape on Kennedy St NW.  The District will be matching those funds so a total of $2 million will be invested in improving the streetlights, trees/landscaping, and sidewalks.  This will be the largest investment in a long time for this area which consists of low-scale housing and a handful of markets and food places.
