Pre-War Character on 16th Street NW

The residence at 3510 16th Street NW, Unit 402, occupies a building constructed in 1921 on one of Columbia Heights’ defining corridors. The two-bedroom, one-bath layout offers a practical footprint at a price point that remains rare for NW DC. HOA coverage of sewer and water provides a measure of predictability in monthly carrying costs.

Columbia Heights is a neighborhood defined by its architectural continuity and urban density. 16th Street NW functions as a major north-south artery connecting the neighborhood to downtown DC, with transit access that makes car-free living a realistic option. The established residential streetscape surrounding the building reflects the neighborhood’s pre-war development pattern.

At $295,000, this residence offers a direct path to ownership in a quadrant of the city where inventory at this price is limited. The HOA structure, which includes reserve funds and insurance in addition to sewer and water, adds a layer of financial structure that benefits owners over time.

The Building
Built in 1921, the building at 3510 16th Street NW carries the architectural presence typical of Columbia Heights’ pre-war residential stock. Unit 402 is a two-bedroom, one-bath residence positioned on the building’s fourth floor. The address places residents directly on one of NW Washington’s most active north-south corridors.
The Neighborhood
Columbia Heights is a dense, walkable neighborhood in NW DC with strong transit infrastructure and a commercial corridor along 14th Street NW. The neighborhood’s housing stock is predominantly pre-war, giving the streetscape a consistency that newer development areas lack. 16th Street NW anchors the eastern edge of the neighborhood’s residential fabric.
The Value
At $295,000, this residence sits at the lower end of the NW DC ownership market. Two-bedroom units with HOA-covered utilities at this price point are uncommon in the quadrant. Buyers seeking an affordable entry into Columbia Heights will find limited comparable inventory.
The HOA Structure
The HOA covers sewer, water, insurance, and reserve funds — a combination that reduces the number of variable costs an owner must manage independently. Reserve fund contributions signal a building that plans for long-term capital needs. For buyers evaluating total monthly cost of ownership, these inclusions carry meaningful weight.
