Columbia Heights Row House With Assigned Parking and Full HOA Coverage

The residence at 2031 13th Street NW sits within a classic early-twentieth-century row house in Columbia Heights, one of NW DC’s most active and walkable neighborhoods. Built in 1920, the building carries the architectural presence characteristic of this corridor — brick construction, period proportions, and a streetscape that reflects the neighborhood’s enduring residential identity.

At 640 square feet, the one-bedroom layout is scaled for efficiency without sacrificing livability. The HOA structure is notably comprehensive, covering water, sewer, trash, exterior building maintenance, common area upkeep, professional management, and reserve funds — a meaningful reduction in the variable costs of ownership.

Assigned parking is included with the unit, a practical advantage that distinguishes this residence from many comparable offerings in the immediate area. Columbia Heights provides walkable access to the Green and Yellow Line Metro, a dense retail corridor along 14th Street NW, and a wide range of dining and daily service options within a short distance.

The $440,000 price point positions this residence competitively within the Columbia Heights condo and row house segment, particularly given the parking and the breadth of HOA inclusions.

Historic Row House
The building dates to 1920 and reflects the brick row house typology that defines much of Columbia Heights NW. The unit occupies the ground level of a structure with genuine architectural character, set along a residential stretch of 13th Street NW that connects directly to the neighborhood’s broader amenity network.
Efficient Floor Plan
The one-bedroom, one-bath configuration makes deliberate use of 640 square feet. The layout suits a range of ownership scenarios and represents a practical entry point into a neighborhood where well-located inventory at this price remains competitive.
HOA Inclusions
The HOA covers water, sewer, trash, exterior building maintenance, common area upkeep, management fees, and reserve fund contributions. This level of coverage meaningfully simplifies the monthly cost structure and reduces exposure to unexpected capital expenses.
Parking Advantage
Assigned parking is included with the unit — a distinction that carries real weight in Columbia Heights, where street parking is constrained and garage options are limited. For buyers weighing comparable units in the area, this feature alone narrows the field considerably.
