A Practical Entry into Columbia Heights at a Rare Price

The residence at 1801 Clydesdale Place NW #101 offers 750 square feet of one-bedroom living in a mid-century building set on a quiet residential street in Columbia Heights. At $259,000, it represents one of the more accessible ownership opportunities in NW DC, where comparable inventory at this price point is limited.

The HOA structure here is notably comprehensive. Gas, water, sewer, trash, reserve funds, and building management are all included, which simplifies monthly budgeting and reduces exposure to utility volatility. For a buyer weighing the true cost of ownership, this coverage matters.

On-site rental parking is available, addressing one of the more practical concerns for residents in this neighborhood. The building’s 1950 construction gives it the solid bones and generous room proportions that newer construction at this price often cannot match.

Columbia Heights is one of the most transit-accessible and commercially active neighborhoods in NW DC. The Green and Yellow Line Metro stations at Columbia Heights and Georgia Ave-Petworth are both within close reach, and the 14th Street and 16th Street corridors provide extensive bus service throughout the day and evening.

The Residence
The residence spans 750 square feet across a one-bedroom, one-bath layout in a mid-century building at 1801 Clydesdale Place NW. The ground-floor unit offers the proportions typical of 1950s construction — rooms sized for actual living, not just square footage on paper.
HOA Coverage
The HOA covers gas, water, sewer, trash, reserve funds, and management. This level of inclusion is meaningful: it reduces monthly variable costs and simplifies the ownership experience compared to buildings where utilities are billed separately.
Parking and Building
On-site rental parking is available, a practical advantage in Columbia Heights where street parking is competitive. The building’s 1950 construction reflects the durable, well-proportioned character of mid-century DC residential architecture.
The Neighborhood
Columbia Heights sits at the intersection of transit access and neighborhood vitality in NW DC. The Green and Yellow Line Metro is close by, and the 14th Street corridor brings a dense mix of dining, retail, and services within walking distance of the building.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Property

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

The HOA at 1801 Clydesdale Place NW covers gas, water, sewer, trash, reserve funds, and building management. This is a notably comprehensive package that reduces monthly variable costs for the owner. The specific monthly fee amount should be confirmed directly with the listing agent or building management.
On-site rental parking is available at the building. The rental rate for parking should be confirmed with building management, as it is separate from the HOA fee. For buyers who own a vehicle, this availability is a meaningful advantage in Columbia Heights, where street parking is competitive.
The Columbia Heights Metro station on the Green and Yellow Lines is the closest station to this address. The Georgia Ave-Petworth station is also within reach. Both stations provide direct service to downtown DC, the U Street corridor, and connections to the broader Metro system.
The building was constructed in 1950, placing it among the mid-century residential stock that defines much of Columbia Heights. Buildings of this era typically feature masonry construction, solid floor-to-ceiling heights, and room proportions that newer construction at comparable price points often does not replicate.
Some older cooperative and condominium buildings carry an underlying or blanket mortgage on the building itself, which is reflected in the HOA fee. Buyers should review the building’s financial documents carefully with their attorney and lender to understand how this affects financing eligibility and total monthly carrying costs.
At $259,000, this residence sits at the lower end of the NW DC one-bedroom condo market, where pricing in established neighborhoods like Columbia Heights more commonly ranges higher. The combination of price point, HOA coverage, and location makes this a relatively uncommon opportunity. A Wardman team member can provide recent comparable sales on request.
Columbia Heights offers a dense mix of walkable amenities including grocery stores, restaurants, cafes, pharmacies, and retail along the 14th Street and Park Road corridors. Meridian Hill Park is one of the more notable green spaces in NW DC and is accessible from this address. The neighborhood’s commercial activity is concentrated within a short walk of the building.
