Columbia Heights NW — Row House

Sherman Avenue NW: A 1908 Row House with Full HOA Coverage

The row house at 2920 Sherman Ave NW #1 was built in 1908 and occupies a well-established block in Columbia Heights. At 1,200 square feet, the two-bedroom, two-bath layout offers a practical footprint for NW DC living, with the added advantage of an HOA that absorbs exterior maintenance, water, trash, snow removal, and reserve contributions.

Columbia Heights is one of the most transit-accessible neighborhoods in the District. The Green and Yellow Line Metro stations serve the area, and the 14th Street NW corridor provides a dense concentration of grocery, dining, and daily-use retail within easy reach of Sherman Avenue.

The HOA structure here is worth noting. Exterior building upkeep, rear lawn care, and snow removal are all managed — reducing the time and cost burden that typically accompanies row house ownership in DC. For a buyer weighing the trade-offs between a condo and a row house, this property occupies a useful middle ground.

Priced at $500,000, the residence represents a considered entry point into Columbia Heights row house inventory. The Wardman Residential team at Compass is available to provide recent comparable sales and context on the current NW DC market.

The Property
Built in 1908, this Columbia Heights row house delivers 1,200 square feet across two bedrooms and two full baths. The Sherman Avenue NW address places it on a residential street within one of NW DC’s most active and walkable neighborhoods. The historic fabric of the block is intact, with the row house form characteristic of early 20th-century DC construction.
The Neighborhood
Columbia Heights offers direct access to the Green and Yellow Line Metro, the 14th Street NW retail and dining corridor, and Meridian Hill Park. The neighborhood’s density of services — grocery, pharmacy, coffee, and transit — makes car-optional living genuinely viable from this address. Sherman Avenue NW sits comfortably within that walkable core.
HOA Structure
The HOA covers exterior building maintenance, rear lawn care, snow removal, water, trash, and reserve funds. This level of coverage is atypical for a row house and meaningfully reduces the ongoing cost and management burden for the owner. Buyers comparing this to unmanaged row house inventory should factor in the value of those included services.
Market Context
At $500,000, this row house enters the Columbia Heights market at a price point that reflects both the neighborhood’s established demand and the practical value of the HOA structure. The Wardman Residential team at Compass can provide recent comparable sales and a full picture of current inventory in the submarket.

Property Location

About 2920 Sherman Ave NW #1

The row house at 2920 Sherman Ave NW #1 was constructed in 1908 and reflects the enduring residential character of Columbia Heights. The two-bedroom, two-bath layout spans 1,200 square feet — a workable scale for a DC row house with the added benefit of HOA-managed exterior upkeep. Rear lawn care, snow removal, exterior building maintenance, water, trash, and reserve fund contributions are all included, which distinguishes this property from the typical unmanaged row house in the neighborhood.

Columbia Heights occupies a central position in NW DC, bounded by 16th Street to the east and Georgia Avenue to the west, with Meridian Hill Park anchoring its southern edge. The 14th Street NW corridor runs through the heart of the neighborhood and supports a dense mix of grocery stores, restaurants, coffee shops, and retail. Sherman Avenue NW is a residential street within that walkable grid, offering proximity to services without the noise of the main commercial strip.

Day-to-day life from this address is oriented around walkability and transit. The Green and Yellow Line Metro stations in Columbia Heights are accessible on foot, connecting the neighborhood directly to downtown DC, U Street, and points south. The 14th Street NW corridor handles most daily errands, and Meridian Hill Park provides open space within the immediate area. The HOA’s management of snow removal and exterior maintenance further reduces the friction of ownership in a row house format.
