A Hillcrest Row House Rooted in Mid-Century DC

The home at 4222 Massachusetts Ave SE sits within Hillcrest, one of SE Washington’s most established residential enclaves. Built in 1954, the row house carries the measured proportions and durable construction characteristic of postwar DC neighborhoods. Two bedrooms and two full baths are arranged across 1,296 square feet of interior space.

Massachusetts Avenue SE is a residential corridor that connects Hillcrest to the broader fabric of SE Washington. Public parking is available, an asset in a city where off-street parking is never guaranteed. The home is priced at $428,400, offering fee-simple DC ownership at a considered entry point.

Hillcrest is a neighborhood defined by its elevation and its tree-lined streets. The area has long attracted buyers seeking the stability of an owner-occupied residential community within DC’s borders. Row houses along this stretch of Massachusetts Avenue SE reflect that tradition.

The Home
Built in 1954, this SE row house offers two bedrooms and two full baths across 1,296 square feet. The mid-century construction is typical of Hillcrest’s residential stock — solid, proportioned, and built for the long term. Public parking access adds practical value in a city where that is not always a given.
The Setting
The home sits on Massachusetts Avenue SE, a residential artery that runs through the elevated terrain of Hillcrest. The street connects the neighborhood to the broader SE quadrant and to the commercial corridors that serve the area. The location places daily errands and transit access within reasonable reach.
Ownership Structure
Fee-simple DC row house ownership at $428,400 represents a direct path to building equity in the District. There is no HOA or condo association involved, meaning the owner controls the property without monthly association fees or board governance. That structure appeals to buyers who want straightforward ownership.
The Neighborhood
Hillcrest is among SE Washington’s most cohesive residential neighborhoods. The area is characterized by owner-occupied row houses, mature tree canopy, and a community identity that has remained consistent over decades. Buyers drawn to established DC neighborhoods with a strong sense of place will find Hillcrest worth a close look.
