Harbour Square: SW Washington Cooperative Living

Unit N818 at 1301 Delaware Ave SW sits within Harbour Square, one of SW Washington’s most recognized cooperative communities. The building’s mid-century design and established grounds set it apart from newer construction in the surrounding waterfront corridor.

The eighth-floor position offers elevated perspectives over the SW quadrant, a neighborhood that has seen sustained reinvestment anchored by the Southwest Waterfront and the Wharf. L’Enfant Plaza Metro is accessible on foot, connecting residents to the Blue, Orange, Silver, Green, and Yellow lines.

Harbour Square cooperatives carry a distinct ownership structure. Buyers acquire shares in the cooperative corporation rather than a traditional deed, a model that has supported the community’s long-term stability and resident continuity.

At $220,000, this residence offers access to a cooperative community with meaningful amenities and a location that places the Wharf, the National Mall, and Capitol Hill within easy reach.

The Building
Harbour Square is a mid-century cooperative campus in SW Washington, recognized for its landscaped grounds and established community character. Unit N818 occupies the eighth floor of the N building, offering elevated sightlines within a community that has remained a consistent presence in the SW quadrant for decades.
The Location
The SW waterfront corridor has been reshaped by the Wharf, a mixed-use development that brought dining, entertainment, and retail to the waterfront. L’Enfant Plaza Metro, accessible on foot, provides direct connections across the region via five Metrorail lines.
Ownership Structure
Harbour Square operates as a cooperative, meaning buyers purchase shares rather than a traditional fee-simple interest. This structure influences financing options and the approval process. Buyers should work with a lender experienced in cooperative transactions and review the cooperative’s financials and house rules prior to making an offer.
The Opportunity
Priced at $220,000, this residence sits at an accessible entry point for the SW waterfront submarket. Cooperative units in Harbour Square trade infrequently, making availability a meaningful consideration for buyers tracking this community.

Property Location

About 1301 DELAWARE AVE SW #N818

Harbour Square is a cooperative community at 1301 Delaware Ave SW, comprising a series of mid-century residential buildings set on landscaped grounds in the SW quadrant. Unit N818 is located on the eighth floor of the N building, a position that provides separation from street level and views over the surrounding neighborhood. The cooperative structure means residents own shares in the corporation, with occupancy rights governed by a proprietary lease rather than a traditional deed.

The SW quadrant occupies a distinct position in the District, bounded by the National Mall to the north, the Anacostia River to the east, and the Potomac to the west. The Wharf, situated along the Southwest Waterfront, has become a regional destination for dining, live music, and waterfront access. The neighborhood also places residents within walking distance of the National Mall, the Smithsonian museums, and the federal core.

Daily life from Harbour Square is oriented around walkability and transit. L’Enfant Plaza Metro, one of the most transfer-rich stations in the Metrorail system, is accessible on foot and connects to the Blue, Orange, Silver, Green, and Yellow lines. The Wharf provides waterfront dining and grocery options, while the broader SW neighborhood offers parks, the Arena Stage theater, and direct access to the waterfront promenade.
