Capitol Hill NE: Space, Parking, and Pre-War Character

The residence at 400 21st St NE #3 occupies a 1940-era building in the Capitol Hill area of NE Washington — a neighborhood defined by its grid of tree-lined streets, brick architecture, and proximity to the US Capitol campus. At 1,008 square feet, the two-bedroom, two-bath floor plan offers a scale that is uncommon at this price point in close-in DC.

Assigned, paved parking is included with the residence — a practical asset that carries real value in a neighborhood where street parking is competitive. The HOA structure covers exterior building maintenance, reserve funds, sewer, trash, and water, which simplifies monthly budgeting and reduces exposure to unexpected common-area costs.

The surrounding blocks connect easily to the H Street corridor, Lincoln Park, and the broader Capitol Hill street grid. The area is well-served by DC Streetcar access along H Street and multiple Metrobus lines, with the Stadium-Armory and Capitol South Metro stations within reasonable reach.

For buyers seeking a two-bedroom condominium with parking in NE Washington at a price point below the median for comparable Capitol Hill properties, this residence warrants a close look.

The Residence
The residence spans 1,008 square feet across a two-bedroom, two-bath layout in a building constructed in 1940. Pre-war DC buildings of this era are known for their solid masonry construction and proportioned room sizes — characteristics that distinguish them from more recent condominium conversions in the area.
Parking and HOA
Assigned, paved parking is included — a tangible benefit in Capitol Hill NE, where on-street parking is consistently competitive. The HOA covers exterior building maintenance, reserve funds, sewer, trash, and water, providing a predictable monthly cost structure for the owner.
Neighborhood Context
The 21st Street NE address places the residence within easy reach of the H Street corridor’s dining and retail, Lincoln Park, and the broader Capitol Hill neighborhood. DC Streetcar service and multiple Metrobus routes serve the immediate area, and the Stadium-Armory Metro station is accessible from this location.
The Opportunity
At $515,000, this two-bedroom, two-bath condominium with parking occupies a competitive position within the Capitol Hill NE submarket. Buyers comparing options in this corridor will find the combination of square footage, parking, and HOA utility coverage difficult to replicate at a similar price.

Property Location

About 400 21st St NE #3

The residence at 400 21st St NE #3 is a two-bedroom, two-bath condominium in a 1940-era building in Capitol Hill NE. The interior spans 1,008 square feet — a floor plan that provides genuine separation between living and sleeping areas, which is not always achievable at this price point in close-in DC. The building’s pre-war construction is reflected in its masonry character, a quality that distinguishes it from the condominium conversions that have proliferated in the neighborhood over the past two decades.

The 21st Street NE corridor sits within the broader Capitol Hill neighborhood, one of Washington’s most historically intact residential districts. The surrounding blocks are characterized by brick row houses, mature street trees, and a walkable grid that connects easily to Lincoln Park, the H Street corridor, and the Capitol campus to the west. Local cafes, neighborhood groceries, and independent restaurants are accessible without a car, and the DC Streetcar line along H Street NE provides a direct connection to Union Station.

Day-to-day life from this address is oriented around a walkable, transit-connected urban environment. The H Street corridor offers a concentrated stretch of dining, coffee, and retail within close reach. Lincoln Park provides open green space a short distance away. For commuters, the DC Streetcar, multiple Metrobus lines, and proximity to the Stadium-Armory Metro station offer meaningful options for car-free or car-light living. Assigned parking is included for those who do keep a vehicle.
