A Row House With the Garage Columbia Heights Rarely Offers

2129 13th St NW presents a three-bedroom row house in Columbia Heights with a private one-car garage — an asset that distinguishes this home from the overwhelming majority of comparable properties on the market in this neighborhood. Built in 2001, the home reflects a more recent construction vintage than most of the surrounding housing stock, with the structural and systems advantages that come with it.

The HOA at $181 per month is modest relative to the services and shared-cost protections it provides, making the total cost of ownership more predictable than a fully detached alternative. Three full baths and a half bath across three bedrooms gives the layout meaningful flexibility for how the home is used day to day.

Columbia Heights sits along the Green and Yellow Line corridor, placing residents within easy reach of downtown DC, U Street, and points south. The neighborhood’s commercial spine along 14th Street NW offers a dense concentration of dining, retail, and daily services within walking distance of the home.

The Property
Built in 2001, this Columbia Heights row house offers three bedrooms and three and a half baths in a configuration that suits a range of uses. The 2001 construction date places it among the newer row houses in the neighborhood, with updated systems and finishes relative to the area’s older Victorian-era stock.
The Garage Advantage
The private one-car garage is among the most consequential features of this home. Off-street parking in Columbia Heights is scarce, and a dedicated garage eliminates the daily competition for street space that defines life in much of NW DC. It also adds a layer of security and convenience that buyers consistently prioritize.
HOA and Cost Structure
A monthly HOA of $181 is low by DC standards for an attached home with shared responsibilities. That figure provides cost predictability without the overhead of a full condo regime, making this a structurally efficient ownership proposition for buyers weighing urban row house options.
Neighborhood Position
Columbia Heights is one of the most transit-accessible neighborhoods in NW, with the Columbia Heights Metro station on the Green and Yellow Lines providing direct service throughout the city. The 14th Street corridor runs through the heart of the neighborhood, anchoring daily life with walkable access to groceries, restaurants, and services.

Why This Home Stands Out

  • Private garage in a neighborhood where parking is scarce
  • 3 beds and 3.5 baths in a 2001-built row house
  • Low $181/month HOA
  • Green and Yellow Line access nearby
  • Walkable to 14th Street NW dining and retail

Property Location

About 2129 13th St NW

The home at 2129 13th St NW is a three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath row house built in 2001 — a construction vintage that sets it apart from the older housing stock that characterizes much of Columbia Heights. The layout includes three full baths in addition to a powder room, providing meaningful flexibility across the home’s bedroom configuration. A private one-car garage is deeded with the property, a structural advantage that is genuinely difficult to find in this part of NW.

Columbia Heights occupies a central position in NW Washington, bounded by 16th Street to the west and the Park View and Petworth neighborhoods to the north. The 14th Street NW corridor serves as the neighborhood’s commercial and cultural spine, with a dense mix of restaurants, cafes, grocery options, and independent retail within walking distance of 13th Street. The Columbia Heights Metro station on the Green and Yellow Lines connects residents directly to downtown DC, U Street, and the broader regional rail network.

Daily life at 2129 13th St NW is shaped by the walkability and transit access that define Columbia Heights at its best. The 14th Street corridor puts a wide range of dining and everyday services within easy reach, while the nearby Metro station reduces dependence on a car for city navigation. The private garage, in this context, functions less as a necessity and more as a genuine convenience — available when needed, without the daily friction of street parking.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Property

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

Off-street parking in Columbia Heights is genuinely scarce, and a private one-car garage is among the most sought-after features in this part of NW. It eliminates the daily competition for street space and adds a layer of security and convenience that most comparable row houses in the neighborhood simply cannot offer.
The specific inclusions of the HOA are not detailed in the current listing materials, and buyers should request the full HOA documents to confirm what is covered. At $181 per month, the fee is low relative to comparable attached homes in DC, suggesting a lean shared-cost structure rather than a full-service condo regime.
Most of Columbia Heights’s housing stock dates to the late 19th and early 20th centuries, meaning a 2001-built row house carries meaningfully newer systems, framing, and construction standards. Buyers typically encounter fewer deferred maintenance concerns with newer construction, though a thorough inspection remains essential regardless of vintage.
The Columbia Heights Metro station on the Green and Yellow Lines is nearby, providing direct service to downtown DC, U Street, and the broader WMATA network. Multiple bus routes along 14th Street NW and 16th Street NW supplement rail access for crosstown and neighborhood travel.
The combination of a 2001 construction date, three full baths, and a private garage distinguishes this home from most of the Columbia Heights row house inventory, which tends toward older construction and street-only parking. Buyers comparing options in this neighborhood will find that these three attributes together are difficult to replicate at a similar price point.
Columbia Heights is served by DC Public Schools and several charter school options, though specific school assignments depend on the buyer’s circumstances and DC’s school choice framework. Buyers with school-age children should consult DCPS directly to confirm current boundary and lottery information for this address.
The 14th Street NW corridor, a short walk from 13th Street, provides access to groceries, restaurants, cafes, pharmacies, and retail without requiring a car. Meridian Hill Park is one of the most notable green spaces in NW DC and is accessible from the neighborhood on foot.
The Wardman Residential team at Compass has direct experience with Columbia Heights row houses and can provide recent comparable sales, context on how the garage and HOA structure affect pricing, and guidance on the current state of the NW row house market.
