Congress Heights SE Washington

A 2018-Built Row House with Garage in Congress Heights

The row house at 1231 Trenton Place SE was completed in 2018, placing it among the newer residential construction in Congress Heights. At 1,520 square feet, the layout accommodates two bedrooms and two full baths, with an additional half bath for guests.

The attached one-car garage is deeded directly to the home, providing secured off-street parking without the uncertainty of a shared or leased arrangement. That distinction carries real weight in a market where parking rights are often negotiated separately or not available at all.

HOA membership covers lawn maintenance, trash removal, management fees, and contributions to reserve funds. For an owner focused on predictable costs and reduced exterior upkeep, the structure is well-suited to that priority.

Congress Heights sits in SE Washington with connectivity to the broader District via public transit and major corridors. The neighborhood has seen continued residential investment, and this home’s 2018 vintage positions it well within that context.

2018 Construction
The home was built in 2018, making it one of the newer row houses in Congress Heights. Modern construction standards, updated systems, and contemporary finishes distinguish it from the older housing stock that defines much of the surrounding neighborhood.

The home spans 1,520 square feet and includes two bedrooms, two full baths, and a half bath. The attached one-car garage is deeded to the property, providing secured off-street parking as a permanent ownership right rather than a leased or shared arrangement.

Congress Heights is a residential neighborhood in SE Washington with a distinct street grid and established community infrastructure.

The HOA structure at this property is designed to reduce the ownership burden associated with exterior maintenance. Lawn care, trash removal, and reserve fund contributions are all covered under the HOA agreement, leaving the owner to manage interior priorities on their own schedule. The 2018 construction vintage means the home’s mechanical systems, finishes, and building envelope reflect current standards, reducing the near-term capital expenditure typically associated with older row houses in the District.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Property

Key details about the residence, building, and location to help you evaluate this opportunity.

The HOA covers lawn maintenance, trash removal, management fees, reserve fund contributions, and exterior upkeep under the HOA agreement. This structure reduces the day-to-day ownership burden and provides predictability around exterior maintenance costs. Buyers should request the current HOA documents to confirm the monthly fee and full scope of coverage.
The attached one-car garage is deeded directly to the home, meaning it transfers with the property at closing as a permanent ownership right. This is a meaningful distinction from properties where parking is leased separately or subject to HOA reassignment. Buyers should confirm the deeded status in the title and HOA documents.
A 2018 build means the home’s mechanical systems, roof, and building envelope are relatively new, which typically reduces near-term capital expenditure compared to older row houses in the District. Modern construction standards also mean updated electrical, plumbing, and insulation. Buyers should still conduct a standard home inspection to verify current condition.
The Congress Heights Metro station on the Green Line is the primary transit option for the neighborhood, with Southern Avenue station providing an additional nearby stop. Bus service along Alabama Avenue SE and connecting routes extends access across SE Washington and toward downtown DC. The Green Line provides a direct connection to Columbia Heights, U Street, and Gallery Place.
At the listed price of $484,820 across 1,520 square feet, the home comes in at approximately $319 per square foot. That figure is competitive within the context of 2018-built row houses in SE Washington. A Wardman team member can provide recent comparable sales in Congress Heights to help contextualize this pricing.
The home is located in the DC Public Schools boundary system, and specific school assignments are determined by the District’s school assignment process. Buyers with school-age children should verify current boundary assignments directly with DCPS, as boundaries and lottery options can change. A Wardman team member can help connect buyers with resources for navigating DC school options.
The combination of 2018 construction, a deeded attached garage, and HOA-managed exterior maintenance is relatively uncommon among row houses in Congress Heights and the broader SE Washington market. Most comparable row houses in the area were built decades earlier and do not include off-street parking as a deeded right. That combination of features at this price point is worth evaluating carefully against the available inventory.
A Wardman team member and the Wardman Residential team at Compass have experience working with row house buyers across SE Washington, including HOA-governed communities in Congress Heights. We can provide recent comparable sales, help evaluate the HOA documents, and guide the offer and negotiation process.
