A Modern Row House in NW DC With Low-Maintenance HOA Coverage

1242 New Jersey Ave NW #2 is a 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath row house built in 2015, offering 1,503 square feet of interior space in one of NW Washington’s most connected corridors. The home’s construction date sets it apart from the neighborhood’s older housing stock, delivering contemporary finishes and systems within a classic urban row house form.

The homeowners association structure here is notably comprehensive. Monthly dues cover exterior building maintenance, insurance, front lawn care, sewer, trash, water, and reserve fund contributions — reducing the unpredictability of ownership costs and simplifying day-to-day management for the occupant.

New Jersey Avenue NW sits at the intersection of Capitol Hill proximity and NW DC accessibility, placing residents within reach of multiple Metro lines, established dining corridors, and the civic and cultural institutions that define central Washington. The address offers genuine urban connectivity without sacrificing the scale and character of row house living.

At $820,000, this home represents a considered entry into the NW DC row house market, with a 2015 build date and HOA infrastructure that distinguish it from comparable offerings in the submarket.

The Home
Built in 2015, this 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath row house delivers 1,503 square feet of interior space across a well-proportioned layout. The construction date places it among the newer residential offerings on the block, with updated systems and finishes that older NW row houses typically require buyers to source independently.
HOA Structure
The HOA covers exterior building maintenance, insurance, front lawn care, sewer, trash, water, and reserve funds. For buyers who prioritize predictable ownership costs, this structure removes several of the variable expenses that accompany freestanding row house ownership in DC.
Location Context
New Jersey Avenue NW connects the Shaw and NoMa corridors, placing this home within reach of the Green and Yellow lines at Shaw-Howard, the Red Line at NoMa-Gallaudet, and the dining and retail density of both neighborhoods. The address balances central access with the residential character of the immediate block.
Market Position
Priced at $820,000, the home enters the NW DC row house market with a 2015 build and a meaningful HOA package. Buyers comparing this home against older row houses in the submarket should account for the cost offsets embedded in the association’s coverage of exterior maintenance, utilities, and reserves.

Property Location

About 1242 New Jersey Ave NW #2

1242 New Jersey Ave NW #2 is a 2015-built row house offering 2 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and 1 half bath across 1,503 square feet. The home’s relatively recent construction date means buyers inherit modern building systems, insulation standards, and finishes rather than the renovation obligations common in DC’s older row house inventory. The homeowners association covers exterior building maintenance, insurance, front lawn care, sewer, trash, water, and reserve funds — a comprehensive package that meaningfully reduces the cost and effort of ownership.

New Jersey Avenue NW runs through one of central Washington’s most dynamic corridors, bridging the Shaw and NoMa neighborhoods and connecting residents to a dense network of transit, dining, and daily services. The immediate area reflects the broader transformation of NW DC’s mid-city blocks, where newer construction sits alongside established row house blocks and a growing commercial presence. Proximity to multiple Metro lines makes the address practical for those who move frequently across the city and into Maryland and Virginia.

Day-to-day life at this address is shaped by the walkability and transit access that define central NW DC. Local cafes, neighborhood groceries, and parks are accessible on foot, and the density of the surrounding blocks means most errands require no car. The row house format provides the spatial logic of a single-family home — distinct floors, a defined entry, and a sense of vertical separation — within the fabric of an urban neighborhood.

A Wardman team member and the Wardman Residential team at Compass have worked extensively with row house buyers and sellers across NW DC’s mid-city neighborhoods, including the Shaw, NoMa, and New Jersey Avenue corridor. We understand the nuances of HOA-governed row houses in DC — a relatively distinct ownership structure — and how to evaluate them against freestanding alternatives in the same submarket. If you are considering a row house in this part of NW DC, reach out and we would be glad to share recent comparables and our perspective on current market conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Property

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

The homeowners association covers exterior building maintenance, insurance, front lawn care, sewer, trash, water, and reserve fund contributions. This is a notably comprehensive package for a row house in DC, where HOA structures of this breadth are not universal. Buyers should review the HOA documents to confirm current fee amounts and any pending assessments.
The property is classified as a row house with HOA governance, which is distinct from a standard condominium. Buyers should review the governing documents carefully to understand the specific rights, responsibilities, and restrictions that apply. A real estate attorney familiar with DC property law can help clarify the ownership structure before closing.
Shaw-Howard Metro on the Green and Yellow lines and NoMa-Gallaudet Metro on the Red Line are both in the vicinity of New Jersey Avenue NW. Multiple Metrobus routes also serve the corridor. Buyers should verify current walking times and service schedules directly with WMATA.
A 2015 construction date means the home’s mechanical systems, insulation, and finishes are relatively recent compared to the majority of NW DC’s row house stock. Buyers typically face fewer near-term capital expenditures on systems like HVAC, plumbing, and electrical. A home inspection will confirm the current condition of all systems.
The home is listed at $820,000. Within the NW DC row house market, pricing is influenced by build date, square footage, HOA structure, and location. The combination of 2015 construction, 1,503 square feet, and a comprehensive HOA package positions this home distinctly relative to older, unassociated row houses in the corridor. A Wardman team member can provide recent comparable sales on request.
Parking details are not specified in the available property information. Buyers who require dedicated parking should confirm availability directly and review the HOA documents for any parking provisions or restrictions. Street parking regulations in NW DC vary by block and permit zone.
The HOA covers front lawn care, which indicates the property includes a front yard maintained through the association. Additional private outdoor space details are not specified in the available information. Buyers should confirm the full extent of outdoor areas during a property tour and through review of the HOA documents.
A Wardman team member and the Wardman Residential team at Compass have direct experience with NW DC row houses, including HOA-governed properties in the Shaw and NoMa corridors.
