A Shaw Residence with Historic Bones and Low-Overhead Ownership

1643 6th St NW #2 is a two-bedroom residence situated in Shaw, one of NW Washington’s most connected and culturally layered neighborhoods. The building was constructed in 1938, and its presence on 6th Street NW reflects the dense, walkable fabric that defines this part of the city.

The condo association structure here is notably comprehensive. Monthly dues cover water, sewer, exterior building maintenance, common area upkeep, insurance, and professional management — a combination that meaningfully simplifies ownership and reduces unpredictable out-of-pocket exposure.

Shaw’s position in the city gives residents immediate access to the U Street and Shaw-Howard University Metro stations, a dense corridor of dining and retail along 7th and 9th Streets NW, and proximity to Logan Circle, Bloomingdale, and the broader central DC grid.

At $485,355, this residence represents a considered entry point into a neighborhood where the built environment, transit access, and urban amenity converge in a way that few DC submarkets can match at this price range.
