A Historic Residence in the Heart of Columbia Heights

3504 13th St NW #13 is a one-bedroom residence in a building constructed in 1910, situated in Columbia Heights — one of NW DC’s most transit-connected and commercially active neighborhoods. The 742-square-foot layout offers a considered footprint for a single-level urban residence, with the character that comes from early-twentieth-century construction.

The condo association provides a notably comprehensive coverage structure: building insurance, custodial services, reserve fund management, and utilities including water, sewer, and trash are all included in the monthly HOA. For buyers evaluating total cost of ownership, this breadth of coverage is a meaningful factor.

Columbia Heights places residents within close reach of the Green and Yellow Line Metro, the 14th Street NW retail and dining corridor, and the broader amenities of upper NW DC. The neighborhood’s density of services — grocery, pharmacy, restaurants, and transit — supports a highly walkable daily routine.

At $420,000, this residence is positioned as an accessible entry point into a neighborhood where demand for well-located urban condos remains consistent. The combination of historic building character, strong HOA coverage, and a central NW DC address makes this a residence worth serious consideration.

The Residence
The residence spans 742 square feet across a one-bedroom, one-bath layout in a building that dates to 1910. That vintage brings architectural detail and construction quality characteristic of early NW DC residential development. The unit number 13 places it within a building that has been maintained through an active condo association.
HOA Coverage
The HOA structure here is more comprehensive than many comparable buildings. Building insurance, custodial services, reserve fund management, and all three primary utilities — water, sewer, and trash — are included. Buyers should factor this coverage into their monthly cost-of-ownership calculation when comparing against buildings with leaner HOA structures.
Neighborhood Context
Columbia Heights is one of the most transit-accessible neighborhoods in NW DC, anchored by the Columbia Heights Metro station on the Green and Yellow Lines. The 14th Street NW corridor runs nearby, offering a dense mix of grocery, dining, retail, and services within walking distance of the building.
Pricing and Value
At $420,000, this one-bedroom residence is priced within the range of comparable Columbia Heights condos. The combination of a historic building, comprehensive HOA, and a central NW DC location creates a clear ownership proposition for buyers prioritizing walkability, transit access, and manageable ongoing costs.
