Property Location

About 1204 Trenton Pl SE

The home at 1204 Trenton Place SE is a semi-detached single-family property built in 1948, situated in the Congress Heights neighborhood of SE Washington. The structure spans 1,152 square feet across a four-bedroom, two-bath layout, a configuration that is increasingly uncommon at this price tier within DC proper. The semi-detached form provides the spatial and acoustic separation of a standalone home while sharing a single party wall with the adjacent structure.

Congress Heights is one of SE Washington’s most historically significant residential neighborhoods, developed primarily in the mid-twentieth century and anchored by the Congress Heights Metro station on the Green Line. The area sits in the southern portion of the District, bordered by Oxon Run Park and within proximity to St. Elizabeths East, a major mixed-use redevelopment campus that has brought new activity to the corridor. Local conveniences including grocery options, pharmacies, and neighborhood retail are accessible without leaving the immediate area.

Day-to-day life from Trenton Place SE is oriented around the Green Line, which connects Congress Heights directly to the Waterfront, L’Enfant Plaza, Gallery Place, and points north without a transfer. Oxon Run Park, one of DC’s larger green spaces, is nearby and offers trails and open recreation space. The neighborhood’s residential streets retain a low-density character that distinguishes this part of SE from the denser corridors closer to the Capitol.
