Fifth-Floor Living in the Heart of Logan Circle

The residence at 1317 Rhode Island Ave NW #501 occupies the fifth floor of a building that dates to 1900, placing it among the architecturally significant stock that defines Logan Circle’s streetscape. At 1,134 square feet, the two-bedroom layout offers meaningful room to live, work, and host without the compromises common in smaller DC condos.

The homeowners association manages exterior building maintenance, insurance, reserve funding, snow removal, trash, and water — a comprehensive coverage structure that reduces the administrative burden of ownership and supports long-term building integrity.

Logan Circle is one of NW DC’s most connected neighborhoods, with immediate access to the 14th Street and P Street corridors, multiple transit lines, and the dense concentration of restaurants, cafes, and independent retail that has made this area a consistent destination for DC residents.

At $550,000, the residence represents a considered entry point into a neighborhood where well-maintained historic stock at this scale is increasingly difficult to find.

The Building
The building at 1317 Rhode Island Ave NW dates to 1900 and reflects the historic residential character that distinguishes Logan Circle from newer construction corridors. Unit 501 sits on the fifth floor, offering an elevated vantage point above the street that provides both light and a sense of remove from the activity below.
HOA Structure
The homeowners association covers a broad range of ownership costs: water, trash, snow removal, exterior building maintenance, insurance, management, and reserve fund contributions. This structure allows owners to budget with greater predictability and shifts routine building upkeep away from individual unit holders.
The Neighborhood
Logan Circle places residents within easy reach of the 14th Street corridor, the U Street and Dupont Circle neighborhoods, and multiple Metro lines. The density of walkable amenities — dining, grocery, fitness, and transit — makes this one of the more self-sufficient locations in NW DC.
The Opportunity
The residence is priced at $550,000 for 1,134 square feet in a neighborhood where comparable historic condo inventory at this scale trades competitively. For buyers seeking established Logan Circle real estate with a comprehensive HOA, this unit warrants close attention.
