Living in Glover Park

An overview of Glover Park’s rowhouse streets, condominium buildings, parkland edges and Wisconsin Avenue retail.
Glover Park sits on the west side of Wisconsin Avenue in Northwest DC, north of Burleith and Georgetown and south of Cathedral Heights. Parkland wraps two sides of it: Glover-Archbold Park runs the length of the western edge, and Whitehaven Park closes the south. The result is a compact grid with one commercial avenue on the east and woods on the west, and few through streets in between. The housing comes in two forms. The interior blocks are lined with porch-front brick rowhouses built mostly in the 1920s and 1930s, along with a handful of semi-detached and detached houses. Along Tunlaw Road, 41st Street and Wisconsin Avenue stand garden-style and mid-rise condominium and co-op buildings, many from the 1950s and 1960s, that hold most of the one- and two-bedroom apartments. Over the past 12 months condominiums and co-ops made up about six in ten sales here, and rowhouses most of the rest. Daily errands run along Wisconsin Avenue, which carries a Whole Foods, a Trader Joe’s, and a run of restaurants and neighborhood services within a short walk of most blocks. Glover-Archbold Park has a wooded trail that runs north and south through the stream valley, and there are community garden plots on parkland at the neighborhood’s edge. Guy Mason Park, with a softball diamond and a playground, sits just across Wisconsin Avenue south of Calvert Street. Stoddert Elementary and the field beside it are on Calvert Street inside the neighborhood. There is no Metrorail station in Glover Park. Metrobus does the work instead: the D80 and D82 run on Wisconsin Avenue toward Georgetown, Foggy Bottom, downtown and Union Station, the D96 links Glover Park with Dupont Circle and Bethesda, and the C85 passes through on its way between Foggy Bottom and Tenleytown. The nearest Red Line stations are more than a mile away, so most trips start with a bus, a bike or a car. Street parking is permit-zoned and the rowhouse blocks rarely have driveways, though many have alley access. I’m glad to walk you through how the rowhouse and condominium markets here differ, which buildings and blocks are trading, and what is coming up for sale.

Key Highlights:

  • Housing character — 1920s and 1930s porch-front rowhouses on the interior blocks; mid-century condominium and co-op buildings along Tunlaw Road and 41st Street
  • Green space — Glover-Archbold Park trail on the west, Whitehaven Park on the south, Guy Mason Park just across Wisconsin Avenue
  • Daily essentials — Whole Foods, Trader Joe's and restaurants along Wisconsin Avenue
  • Transit — no Metrorail station; D80 and D82 buses on Wisconsin Avenue, plus the D96 and C85
  • Schools — Stoddert Elementary, Hardy Middle and MacArthur High per the DCPS feeder pattern; confirm by address
  • Market character — condominiums at a median near $360,000 and rowhouses at a median of about $1.26 million

Location & Neighborhood

West of Wisconsin Avenue, between Glover-Archbold Park and Whitehaven Park, north of Burleith.

This page uses the DC tax office’s Glover Park assessment neighborhood. It runs from Whitehaven Park on the south to about Fulton Street on the north, and from Glover-Archbold Park on the west to Wisconsin Avenue on the east. Wisconsin Avenue holds the shops, restaurants and several apartment buildings. Tunlaw Road and 41st Street carry most of the condominium and co-op buildings, while the lettered and numbered streets between them, including Benton, W and 39th Streets, are rowhouse blocks.

Bus Routes and Park Trails

Wisconsin Avenue is the main route in and out. The D80 and D82 buses follow it south through Georgetown to Foggy Bottom and downtown, and north toward Tenleytown and Friendship Heights. The D96 crosses to Dupont Circle, and the C85 links the neighborhood with Foggy Bottom and Tenleytown. Drivers use Wisconsin and Massachusetts Avenues, and the Glover-Archbold trail gives walkers a wooded route south toward Georgetown.

Most errands can be done on foot along Wisconsin Avenue, where a Whole Foods and a Trader Joe’s sit a few blocks apart among restaurants and other services. Guy Mason Park is just across the avenue, south of Calvert Street. Georgetown’s larger retail district is a short bus ride or a long walk to the south.

YoY Median Price Change

Glover Park is a two-product market: condominiums and co-ops account for about six in ten sales, and 1920s and 1930s rowhouses for most of the rest. The snapshot covers every closed sale inside the neighborhood boundary over the trailing twelve months through September 2026 — 59 condominiums, 37 rowhouses and semi-detached homes, and 1 detached house. Price per square foot uses interior living area.

Across all home types the median sale was $578,181 at about $552 per square foot, with a median of 27 days on market and sales averaging 95% of original list price. The median fell about 25% from the prior twelve months. Within segments, the condo median rose about 13% to $362,000 and the rowhouse median held near $1.26 million. Much of the overall change reflects the mix of homes that sold rather than a broad shift in values. Homes took longer to sell than a year earlier, at a median of 27 days versus 13.

Market data reflects recent 12-month activity. Individual buildings may vary.

In-Depth Market Analysis

Glover Park Market Insights

How pricing trends, absorption rates, and inventory levels are shaping buying and selling

Inventory & Absorption

There were 97 closed sales in the 12 months through September 2026, against 103 the year before. Condominiums and co-ops accounted for 59 of them and rowhouses and semi-detached houses for 37, with a single detached sale. Rowhouse volume fell from 47 to 37 while condominium volume rose from 55 to 59. The median time on market for all types was 27 days, up from 13 a year earlier.

Pricing Dynamics

The all-types median was about $578,000, down roughly 25 percent from $775,000 a year earlier. That drop largely reflects a change in mix: fewer rowhouses and more condominiums sold, and within each segment the median rose. The condominium median moved from about $321,000 to $362,500, and the rowhouse median from $1.25 million to $1.26 million. The median sale closed at about 95 percent of original list price.

Buyer Profile

Demand is firmest for rowhouses, which sold in a median of 10 days at about $695 per square foot, and 17 of the 37 closed at or above the original list price. Condominiums took longer, with a median of 40 days compared with 16 a year earlier, and 12 of 59 closed at or above the original list price. Condominium prices ranged from about $123,000 to just over $1 million.

Strategic Outlook

The rowhouse segment has held its price level with fewer sales, which points to limited supply more than softer demand. The condominium segment is slower, and sellers there are negotiating more from the original list price than a year ago. Pricing a condominium against recent sales in the same building matters more now than it did a year ago. None of this predicts future prices; it describes the last 12 months.

Market Position Overview:

Inventory Level: Balanced with selective competition

Negotiation Environment: Moderate flexibility

Typical Days on Market: 25-45 (well-priced units)

Rental Demand: Consistent due to transit proximity

Long- Term Outlook: Stable, walkability-driven value

Glover Park Housing & Architecture

Rowhouse blocks from the 1920s and 1930s make up the interior, with mid-century apartment buildings along Tunlaw Road, 41st Street and Wisconsin Avenue.
Porch-Front Rowhouses
Porch-front rowhouses built in the 1920s and 1930s line the interior blocks, many with a small rear yard reached from an alley. Thirty-seven rowhouses and semi-detached houses sold in the past 12 months at a median of about $1.26 million.
End Units and Semi-Detached Houses
End-of-row and semi-detached houses add side windows and sometimes a wider lot. They are a small share of sales: five end units and three semi-detached houses closed in the past 12 months, alongside 29 interior rowhouses.
Tunlaw Road Condominiums
Garden-style and mid-rise buildings on Tunlaw Road hold many of the neighborhood’s one- and two-bedroom apartments. Buildings on the 3900 and 4000 blocks accounted for 14 sales in the past 12 months. Fees, parking and amenities vary by building.
41st Street Buildings
A row of apartment buildings on 41st Street, toward the park side of the neighborhood, holds more of the area’s condominium supply. Four buildings on the 2400 to 2600 blocks recorded 18 sales in the past 12 months, adding to the supply of one- and two-bedroom apartments within a few blocks of Wisconsin Avenue.
Wisconsin Avenue Apartments
Apartment buildings along Wisconsin Avenue put their units closest to the grocery stores, restaurants and bus stops. They trade a busier street frontage for the shortest walk to errands and the most frequent bus service.
Condominium vs. Co-op
About 7 percent of the past year’s sales were co-op units. Co-ops include different items in the monthly fee and involve board approval and different financing than condominiums, so compare fees and terms building by building.
