HOA Value
The HOA at this building covers an unusually broad range of expenses: gas, water, sewer, trash, exterior maintenance, custodial services, and reserve fund contributions.

The Neighborhood
Bloomingdale sits at the intersection of several key NW corridors, with walkable access to local dining, coffee, and retail. The neighborhood’s proximity to the Green and Yellow Line stations at Shaw-Howard and the Red Line at Rhode Island Avenue provides multiple transit options for commuters.
