1929 1st St NW #103 — Washington, DC 20001

Historic Character. Covered Costs. Inner-NW Address.

The residence at 1929 1st St NW #103 occupies a building constructed in 1910, placing it among the older residential structures in this part of NW DC. At 534 square feet, the one-bedroom, one-bath layout is efficient without compromise — a format well-suited to buyers who prioritize location and low-maintenance ownership over square footage.

The HOA package here is notably comprehensive. Water, sewer, trash, building insurance, exterior maintenance, common area upkeep, professional management, and reserve fund contributions are all included. For a buyer modeling total monthly carrying costs, that breadth of coverage materially simplifies the calculation.

The 1st Street NW corridor connects Bloomingdale to the south end of Eckington, with easy access to the restaurants and coffee shops along Rhode Island Avenue and the green spaces of McMillan Reservoir nearby. The Shaw-Howard University Metro station on the Green and Yellow lines is accessible, as is the NoMa-Gallaudet station on the Red Line.

At $349,900, this residence offers a realistic path into a well-established inner-NW neighborhood without the carrying-cost complexity that often accompanies older DC buildings. The combination of historic fabric, covered utilities, and a walkable address makes this a considered option for buyers entering the DC condo market.

Ground-floor positioning in a low-rise building contributes to an accessible, residential feel.
HOA Coverage
The monthly HOA fee covers an unusually broad range of expenses: water, sewer, trash, building insurance, exterior maintenance, common area upkeep, management, and reserve fund contributions. Buyers who factor total monthly cost — not just mortgage — will find this coverage meaningful when comparing options across the DC condo market.
The Neighborhood
The 1st Street NW address places the residence in the Bloomingdale neighborhood, a walkable inner-NW corridor with proximity to Rhode Island Avenue dining, the McMillan Reservoir green space, and multiple Metro lines.
