A Historic Corridor Address with Comprehensive HOA Coverage

The residence at 1701 16th Street NW, Unit 126 occupies a building constructed in 1920, placing it among the architecturally significant stock that defines this stretch of NW Washington. At 600 square feet, the one-bedroom floor plan is efficiently scaled for a buyer who values location and low-maintenance ownership above all else.

The HOA structure here is notably inclusive. Cable television, high-speed internet, water, sewer, trash, snow removal, exterior building maintenance, and common area upkeep are all covered — a combination that meaningfully reduces the variable costs of ownership and simplifies monthly budgeting.

Parking is a genuine asset at this address. On-site parking is available both as a rental and for outright purchase, giving a buyer flexibility that is far from guaranteed in this part of the city. The 16th Street corridor connects directly to the broader NW grid, with the U Street and Columbia Heights Metro stations within reach.

The surrounding neighborhood offers a dense mix of dining, coffee, grocery, and cultural options. Meridian Hill Park is nearby, providing one of the more distinctive green spaces in the District. The combination of a historic building, comprehensive HOA, and a central NW address makes this residence a considered choice at its price point.

The Building
The 1920 building at 1701 16th Street NW carries the architectural character typical of the 16th Street corridor. The structure has been maintained as a residential condominium, and Unit 126 represents a straightforward one-bedroom layout within that historic frame. The building’s age lends it a solidity and presence that newer construction rarely replicates.
HOA Coverage
The HOA at this address covers an unusually broad range of expenses. Cable, internet, water, sewer, trash, snow removal, exterior maintenance, and common area upkeep are all included. For a buyer calculating true monthly cost of ownership, this level of coverage materially changes the comparison against other one-bedroom condominiums in the submarket.
Parking Options
On-site parking is available in two forms: a rental option for buyers who want flexibility, and a for-sale option for those who prefer to own the space outright. In a neighborhood where street parking is competitive and garage options are limited, this dual availability is a meaningful differentiator at the $360,000 price point.
Neighborhood Context
The 16th Street NW corridor connects Columbia Heights to the north and Dupont Circle to the south, placing this address within reach of a wide range of dining, retail, and green space. Meridian Hill Park, one of the District’s most recognized urban parks, is close by. The neighborhood’s walkability and transit access reinforce the case for ownership here.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Property

Key details about the residence, building, and location to help you evaluate this opportunity.

The condominium association at 1701 16th Street NW covers cable television, high-speed internet, water, sewer, trash removal, snow removal, exterior building maintenance, and common area upkeep. This is a notably comprehensive package that reduces the variable costs of ownership. Buyers should confirm the current monthly fee amount directly, as it was not specified in the listing data.
Parking is not included with the unit but is available on-site in two formats: as a rental for buyers who prefer flexibility, and for outright purchase for those who want to own the space. This dual availability is relatively uncommon in this part of NW Washington and adds meaningful practical value to the address.
The U Street/African-Amer Civil War Memorial/Cardozo Metro station on the Green and Yellow Lines is among the closest options, as is the Columbia Heights Metro station to the north. The 16th Street bus corridor also provides frequent Metrobus service, making this address well-served by transit even without a vehicle.
At $360,000 for 600 square feet, the residence is priced at $600 per square foot. For context within the NW condominium submarket, buyers should review recent comparable sales in the 16th Street corridor and adjacent neighborhoods. The Wardman Residential team can provide a current comparable sales analysis upon request.
The building was constructed in 1920, placing it among the older condominium stock in NW Washington. Buyers considering a historic building should review the reserve fund study and any recent capital improvement history as part of their due diligence. The architectural character of a 1920 building is a genuine asset, but buyers should enter with appropriate expectations about building systems and common area aesthetics.
The combination of a comprehensive HOA, on-site parking availability, a historic building address on the 16th Street corridor, and a $360,000 price point positions this residence competitively within the NW one-bedroom submarket. Many comparable listings in this price range do not include parking or carry HOA fees that exclude utilities. A side-by-side comparison with recent closed sales would clarify the value proposition.
The property is located in NW Washington, and the District of Columbia operates a school assignment system that includes both boundary schools and a citywide lottery for public charter and selective schools. Buyers with school-age children should consult DCPS directly to confirm current boundary assignments and enrollment options for this address.
