Scale and Substance in NE Washington

The home at 5500 4th St NE occupies a residential block in Riggs Park, one of NE Washington’s established neighborhoods with a grid of tree-lined streets and a strong stock of owner-occupied homes. Built in 2009, the structure reflects a more recent construction standard than much of the surrounding housing, with the footprint and finish expectations that come with a post-2000 build.

At 3,024 square feet, the layout accommodates four bedrooms and five bathrooms — three full, two half — a configuration that provides genuine flexibility across multiple floors. Surface parking is included, a practical advantage in a part of the city where off-street parking is not always a given.

The Fort Totten Metro station, serving both the Red and Green/Yellow Lines, is accessible from this location, connecting residents to downtown DC and points throughout the region. Local amenities along the nearby commercial corridors serve daily needs without requiring a car.

Priced at $695,000, this home offers a compelling entry point for newer construction at this scale in NE DC, where comparable square footage in older housing stock often requires significant renovation investment.

Riggs Park Setting
The home sits in Riggs Park, a residential NE DC neighborhood characterized by a consistent street grid and a mix of long-term homeowners and newer residents. The block context is primarily single-family and attached housing, giving the property a grounded, neighborhood feel distinct from denser parts of the city.
Generous Floor Plan
With 3,024 square feet, four bedrooms, three full baths, and two half baths, the floor plan provides room to live and work across multiple levels. The 2009 construction date means the bones, systems, and layout reflect contemporary building standards rather than the constraints of mid-century design.
Transit Connectivity
Fort Totten Metro station offers access to both the Red Line and the Green and Yellow Lines, making this location functional for commuters heading to multiple parts of the region. Local bus service and the broader NE DC street network add further options for daily movement.
Value at This Scale
Newer construction at this square footage is increasingly difficult to find in NE DC at this price point. The combination of a 2009 build, five-bathroom configuration, and included parking positions this home as a substantive option relative to older inventory requiring capital investment to bring up to a comparable standard.
