Columbia Heights, NW Washington DC

Historic Character. Central Location. Covered Costs.

3504 13th St NW #33 is a one-bedroom residence in one of Columbia Heights’ established residential buildings, constructed in 1910 and carrying the architectural presence that defines NW DC’s pre-war stock. At 742 square feet, the layout is efficient without feeling constrained, and the building’s age brings ceiling heights and proportions rarely found in contemporary construction.

The HOA structure here is notably comprehensive. Water, sewer, trash, building insurance, professional management, reserve fund contributions, and custodial services are all included — reducing the variable costs a buyer must budget for month to month. For a one-bedroom residence priced at $427,000, that coverage represents real financial clarity.

Columbia Heights is one of NW DC’s most connected neighborhoods. The Green and Yellow Line Metro station at Columbia Heights sits close by, and the 14th Street corridor delivers a dense mix of restaurants, coffee shops, grocery options, and neighborhood retail. The combination of transit access, walkability, and building character makes this residence a considered choice in a competitive submarket.

The Wardman Residential team at Compass has worked extensively in Columbia Heights and the broader NW DC condo market. We understand the nuances of pre-war buildings in this neighborhood — from HOA reserve health to the resale dynamics that distinguish one building from another. If you are evaluating this residence or comparable Columbia Heights condos, reach out and we would be glad to share recent sales data and our perspective on the submarket.

The Residence
Unit 33 at 3504 13th St NW is a one-bedroom, one-bath residence spanning 742 square feet in a building constructed in 1910. Pre-war buildings in Columbia Heights are known for their proportional layouts and architectural detail, and this residence reflects that tradition. The floor plan delivers a livable, well-defined space in one of NW DC’s most active neighborhoods.
HOA Coverage
The HOA at this building covers an unusually broad range of expenses: water, sewer, trash removal, building insurance, professional management, reserve fund contributions, and custodial services. For a buyer evaluating true monthly cost of ownership, that scope of coverage meaningfully reduces variable exposure. It is worth factoring into any direct price comparison with buildings that carry leaner HOA structures.
The Neighborhood
Columbia Heights places this residence within close reach of the Green and Yellow Line Metro, the 14th Street retail and dining corridor, and the neighborhood parks and community anchors that define the area. The neighborhood’s density of services and transit connectivity make car-optional living a realistic daily reality for residents of this building.
Wardman Perspective
