All-Inclusive Living in the Heart of Dupont Circle

Residence 209 at 1260 21st Street NW sits in one of Washington’s most consistently in-demand corridors, where the density of transit options, restaurants, and daily services is difficult to match elsewhere in the city. The building dates to 1966 and reflects the measured, functional architecture of that era — solid construction with a straightforward residential character.

The one-bedroom floor plan spans 676 square feet, a practical configuration for a full-time residence or a DC pied-à-terre. What distinguishes this offering from comparable condominiums in the submarket is the breadth of the HOA’s coverage: electricity, gas, heat, air conditioning, water, sewer, trash, snow removal, insurance, management, and reserve funds are all included. For buyers focused on predictable monthly costs, that structure is a material advantage.

Dupont Circle NW is defined by its walkability and its position as a connective hub between Georgetown, Logan Circle, and the broader NW quadrant. The Dupont Circle Metro station on the Red Line provides direct access to downtown and beyond, and the surrounding blocks offer an established mix of independent restaurants, grocery options, and neighborhood services.
