Columbia Heights NW — Washington, DC

A Historic Building. A Connected Neighborhood. A Residence Worth Considering.

The residence at 1417 Chapin St NW #507 occupies a building that has stood in Columbia Heights since 1905 — a rare structural pedigree in a city where much of the condominium inventory is recent construction. The fifth-floor position offers separation from street-level activity, and the two-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath layout provides meaningful flexibility for how the space is used day to day.

Columbia Heights is one of NW Washington’s most transit-rich and commercially active neighborhoods. The Green and Yellow Line station at Columbia Heights Metro places the downtown core, U Street, and points south within a short ride. The 14th Street and 11th Street corridors offer a dense concentration of dining, coffee, and retail options within walking distance.

The HOA structure here is notably comprehensive. Water, sewer, insurance, management, and reserve fund contributions are all included in the monthly fee — reducing the variable costs of ownership and simplifying the financial picture for buyers evaluating total monthly outlay.

The Wardman Residential team at Compass has worked extensively in Columbia Heights and the broader 14th Street submarket. Reach out for recent comparable sales, building-specific context, or a private walkthrough of this residence.

The Building
The building at 1417 Chapin St NW dates to 1905, giving it a structural and architectural character that newer condominium construction rarely replicates. The fifth-floor unit provides a degree of elevation and separation that contributes to the overall livability of the residence. Two bedrooms and one and a half baths configure the space with practical flexibility.
The Neighborhood
Columbia Heights sits at the intersection of transit access and neighborhood vitality in NW Washington. The Green and Yellow Lines are close at hand, and the 14th Street corridor — with its concentration of restaurants, cafes, and independent retail — is a short walk from the building. Rock Creek Park and Meridian Hill Park are both accessible from this location.
HOA Structure
The monthly HOA fee covers water, sewer, insurance, management, and reserve fund contributions. For buyers comparing total monthly costs across DC condominiums, this level of inclusion is worth noting — it reduces exposure to variable utility and maintenance expenses that are not covered in many comparable buildings.

The building dates to 1905, making it one of the older residential structures in Columbia Heights.
