Property Location
About 2122 California St NW #452
The residence at 2122 California St NW #452 is a 1,325-square-foot two-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath condo within a 1905 building in Kalorama, NW Washington. The building’s pre-war construction gives it a structural and aesthetic character distinct from the glass-and-steel inventory that dominates newer DC development. Surface parking is deeded with the unit, and the HOA fee covers an extensive list of operating expenses including electricity, gas, heat, air conditioning, water, sewer, trash, taxes, building maintenance, management, snow removal, and reserve funds.
Kalorama is one of NW Washington’s most historically significant residential neighborhoods, situated between Woodley Park to the north and Dupont Circle to the south. The area is characterized by its early-twentieth-century architecture, embassy row adjacency, and the commercial energy of the Connecticut Avenue and Columbia Road corridors nearby. Rock Creek Park is accessible from the neighborhood, and the density of local dining, grocery, and retail options along those corridors supports daily life without requiring a car for most errands.
Residents of this address have walkable access to the Connecticut Avenue corridor and the Columbia Road stretch of Adams Morgan, where a range of cafes, restaurants, and neighborhood retail are concentrated. The Woodley Park Metro station on the Red Line and the Dupont Circle Metro station are both within reasonable walking distance, providing direct access to downtown DC and points beyond. The included surface parking space adds flexibility for those who maintain a vehicle, while the all-inclusive HOA structure removes the friction of managing separate utility accounts.
