Historic Cooperative Living in the Heart of Adams Morgan

2801 Adams Mill Road NW #103 is a one-bedroom residence in a 1926 cooperative building positioned at one of Adams Morgan’s most recognizable intersections. The building’s pre-war construction gives it a character and solidity that newer mid-rise developments rarely replicate, and the ground-floor unit offers direct, accessible entry within the building.

The HOA fee structure here is unusually inclusive. Beyond standard common-area and exterior maintenance, the monthly assessment covers property taxes, water, sewer, insurance, reserve funds, custodial services, lawn maintenance, and the building’s underlying mortgage. For buyers evaluating true monthly carrying costs, this all-in structure simplifies the calculation considerably.

Adams Morgan remains one of NW Washington’s most walkable neighborhoods, with a dense concentration of dining, independent retail, and green space within easy reach. The Woodley Park-Zoo/Adams Morgan Metro station on the Red Line provides direct access to downtown DC and beyond.

At $290,000, this residence represents an entry point into a neighborhood where cooperative and condominium inventory at this price is limited. The combination of historic fabric, comprehensive HOA coverage, and location makes this a considered option for buyers focused on Adams Morgan.

The Building
Built in 1926, the cooperative at 2801 Adams Mill Road NW carries the architectural character typical of pre-war Washington. The building’s masonry construction, established landscaping, and maintained common areas reflect decades of stewardship. Unit 103 is a ground-floor residence offering straightforward building access and a 600-square-foot one-bedroom layout.
HOA Coverage
The monthly HOA assessment covers an unusually broad range of expenses: property taxes, water, sewer, insurance, exterior building maintenance, lawn care, custodial services, reserve fund contributions, and the underlying cooperative mortgage. Buyers should factor this structure carefully into their cost-of-ownership analysis, as it substantially reduces out-of-pocket variable expenses.
The Neighborhood
Adams Morgan sits at the intersection of several NW neighborhoods and offers some of the district’s most walkable streetscapes. Local dining, coffee shops, grocery options, and Rock Creek Park access are all within close range. The Red Line’s Woodley Park-Zoo/Adams Morgan station connects residents efficiently to the broader Metro system.
The Opportunity
Cooperative inventory in Adams Morgan at this price point is genuinely limited. The $290,000 ask, combined with the all-inclusive HOA structure, positions this residence as a practical entry into a neighborhood with enduring demand. Buyers comparing cooperative versus condominium ownership in NW DC will find this a useful data point in that analysis.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Property

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

The monthly HOA assessment at 2801 Adams Mill Road NW is notably comprehensive. It covers common area maintenance, custodial services, exterior building maintenance, insurance, lawn maintenance, reserve funds, sewer, property taxes, the underlying cooperative mortgage, and water. Buyers should request the current fee amount and review the cooperative’s financial statements prior to making an offer.
This is a cooperative, not a condominium. In a cooperative, buyers purchase shares in a corporation that owns the building rather than a deed to a specific unit. This distinction affects financing options, board approval requirements, and resale flexibility. Buyers new to cooperative ownership in DC should discuss these differences with their agent and lender before proceeding.
The Woodley Park-Zoo/Adams Morgan Metro station on the Red Line is the closest Metro access point, providing service to downtown DC, Bethesda, and points beyond. Multiple Metrobus routes also serve the Columbia Road and 18th Street NW corridors, offering additional transit options for residents without a car.
No parking is confirmed in the available listing data for Unit 103. Buyers who require parking should inquire with the cooperative board about any available parking options, rental arrangements, or nearby garage alternatives. Street parking conditions in Adams Morgan vary and should be evaluated independently.
In a cooperative, the building itself often carries a blanket mortgage, and individual shareholders contribute to its repayment through their monthly HOA fees. This is referred to as the underlying mortgage. It affects a buyer’s financing options and total monthly cost, and lenders who work with cooperative purchases will factor it into their underwriting. Buyers should discuss this with a lender experienced in DC cooperative transactions.
Adams Morgan is one of NW Washington’s most walkable and culturally active neighborhoods, with a dense mix of dining, independent retail, and green space. Cooperative inventory at this price point in the neighborhood is limited, which makes Unit 103 a relatively rare entry-level opportunity. The neighborhood’s proximity to Rock Creek Park and the Red Line adds to its practical appeal.
Cooperative purchases in DC involve board approval, which can include a financial review and interview process. Financing is available but requires lenders familiar with cooperative structures, and not all conventional mortgage products apply. Buyers should also review the cooperative’s bylaws, house rules, and financial health — including reserve fund levels — before committing.
The Wardman Residential team at Compass has direct experience with cooperative and condominium transactions in Adams Morgan and across NW Washington. We can provide recent comparable sales data, context on the cooperative’s market position, and guidance on the financing and board approval process.
