Executive Summary
1242 New Jersey Ave NW, Unit 2 is a 1,437-square-foot condominium residence in Shaw, one of NW Washington’s most connected and walkable neighborhoods.

New Jersey Avenue Residence in the Core of Shaw
1242 New Jersey Ave NW, Unit 2 is a 2015-built condominium residence in Shaw, offering 1,437 square feet of thoughtfully configured living space across two bedrooms and two and a half baths. The building’s boutique scale and relatively recent construction set it apart from the older converted stock that dominates much of the surrounding neighborhood.
Shaw occupies a central position in NW Washington, with direct access to the Green and Yellow Line Metro at Shaw-Howard University, as well as easy reach of the Mount Vernon Square and Convention Center corridors. New Jersey Avenue itself serves as a quiet residential connector between the neighborhood’s commercial energy and its tree-lined side streets.
At $875,000 with a $350 monthly HOA fee, the residence offers a competitive cost-of-ownership profile relative to comparable newer construction in Logan Circle and Capitol Hill. The HOA fee structure suggests a lean, well-managed association — a meaningful consideration for buyers evaluating long-term carrying costs.
