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.
