13th Street NW Residence in a 1910 Columbia Heights Building

The residence at 3504 13th St NW #34 occupies a 1910 building on one of Columbia Heights’ most recognizable corridors. At 672 square feet, the one-bedroom, one-bath layout is efficiently scaled for the neighborhood’s active urban context.

The HOA structure is notably comprehensive, covering water, sewer, trash, insurance, management, custodial services, and reserve funds. For buyers weighing the true cost of ownership, that breadth of coverage is a meaningful variable in the calculus.

Columbia Heights offers direct access to the Green and Yellow Lines at the Columbia Heights Metro station, along with a dense retail corridor along 14th Street NW. The neighborhood’s mix of row houses, mid-rise condominiums, and converted buildings reflects more than a century of residential layering.

At $385,000, this residence represents a considered entry point into one of DC’s most transit-connected NW neighborhoods, with building infrastructure already established and HOA obligations clearly defined.

The Building
The 1910 construction date places this building among Columbia Heights’ older residential stock — a period when the neighborhood’s architectural identity was being established. The building’s structural character reflects that era, with the durability and material presence that newer construction rarely replicates.
HOA Coverage
The HOA covers an unusually broad range of expenses: water, sewer, trash, insurance, management, custodial services, and reserve funds. Buyers should factor this coverage into any side-by-side comparison with properties carrying lower HOA fees but higher out-of-pocket utility and maintenance obligations.
Neighborhood Context
Columbia Heights sits at the intersection of 13th and 14th Street NW corridors, with the Metro station, grocery options, and a dense concentration of restaurants and cafes within easy reach. The neighborhood’s walkability is among the highest in NW DC, and the transit access is direct.
Ownership Value
At $385,000, the residence is priced within the active one-bedroom condo segment in Columbia Heights. The combination of a historically constructed building, comprehensive HOA, and a well-established location gives this offering a clear value proposition relative to newer construction at comparable price points.
