A Classic NW Residence on Columbia Road

The residence at 1465 Columbia Rd NW #101 occupies a 1921 building on one of Columbia Heights’ principal streets. At 702 square feet, the one-bedroom floor plan is efficient without sacrifice, and street-level access from Columbia Road makes daily arrivals and departures straightforward.

The HOA structure here is notably comprehensive. Gas, water, sewer, trash, exterior building maintenance, snow removal, insurance, and reserve fund contributions are all included — a meaningful offset to monthly carrying costs and a simplification of household budgeting.

Columbia Heights is a dense, walkable NW neighborhood with strong transit infrastructure and a wide range of retail, dining, and service options within close reach. The Green and Yellow Line Metro stations at Columbia Heights and Georgia Ave-Petworth are both accessible from this address.

For a buyer seeking an established NW DC address with low-maintenance ownership and a well-covered HOA, this residence merits serious consideration. The 1921 building carries architectural character that newer construction in the corridor cannot replicate.

The Residence
The residence at 1465 Columbia Rd NW #101 is a 702-square-foot one-bedroom unit in a 1921 building on Columbia Road. Street-level access from the building’s Columbia Road frontage provides a direct, convenient entry point. The building’s age lends a structural character that distinguishes it from newer construction in the area.
HOA Coverage
The monthly HOA covers an unusually broad range of expenses: gas, water, sewer, trash, exterior building maintenance, snow removal, insurance, and reserve funds. For a buyer evaluating true monthly carrying costs, this level of coverage meaningfully simplifies the financial picture and reduces exposure to variable utility expenses.
The Neighborhood
Columbia Heights is one of NW DC’s most transit-accessible and commercially active neighborhoods. The Green and Yellow Line stations at Columbia Heights and Georgia Ave-Petworth are both within reach, and Columbia Road itself is lined with grocery options, restaurants, cafes, and everyday services.
The Opportunity
At $412,000, this residence offers an entry point into a well-established NW DC neighborhood with a comprehensive HOA structure and a building with genuine historical character. For buyers weighing ownership costs carefully, the breadth of HOA inclusions is a substantive differentiator worth modeling against comparable listings.
