About 2122 California St NW #258

The residence at 2122 California St NW #258 is a 550-square-foot one-bedroom, one-bath condominium in a building constructed in 1905. The building’s age is characteristic of Kalorama’s residential stock, where pre-war and early-twentieth-century construction predominates. The HOA fee encompasses an extensive list of services and utilities — electricity, gas, heat, water, sewer, trash, taxes, insurance, reserve funds, and building maintenance — making it one of the more inclusive fee structures available in the NW condo market.

Kalorama occupies a hillside position in upper NW Washington, bounded roughly by Connecticut Avenue to the west, Rock Creek Park to the north, and Adams Morgan to the east. The neighborhood is characterized by its early-twentieth-century residential architecture, embassies, and proximity to the dining and retail corridors along Connecticut Avenue and Columbia Road. California St NW is a quiet residential street within the neighborhood, offering a degree of separation from the commercial activity nearby while keeping it within easy walking distance.

The Connecticut Avenue corridor provides a walkable range of cafes, restaurants, and everyday retail within a short distance of the building. Rock Creek Park’s trails and green space are accessible from the neighborhood’s northern edge. The Woodley Park-Zoo/Adams Morgan Metro station connects residents to the broader DC transit network, and on-site rental parking accommodates those who keep a vehicle.
