Classic NW Residence in a 1926 Columbia Heights Building

529 Lamont St NW #205 is a two-bedroom residence in a century-old building that has remained a fixture of the Columbia Heights streetscape since 1926. The 789-square-foot floor plan delivers a comfortable two-bedroom, one-bath configuration in a neighborhood defined by its walkability and transit access.

The HOA structure here is notably comprehensive. Water, sewer, trash, exterior building maintenance, and professional management are all covered, meaning monthly ownership costs are more predictable than in many comparable buildings. For buyers weighing the true cost of ownership, that coverage matters.

Columbia Heights is one of NW DC’s most transit-accessible neighborhoods, with the Green and Yellow Line Metro station within easy reach and a dense corridor of dining, retail, and daily services along 14th Street NW and Irving Street NW. The neighborhood’s grid layout makes it straightforward to navigate on foot or by bike.

At $399,999, this residence offers a credible entry point into a neighborhood where demand for well-priced condos remains consistent. The 1926 building brings architectural character that newer construction in the area cannot replicate.

The Residence
Unit 205 at 529 Lamont St NW is a two-bedroom, one-bath residence spanning 789 square feet in a 1926 building. The layout provides a clear separation between living and sleeping spaces, and the building’s pre-war construction typically yields thicker walls and more substantial finishes than modern counterparts.
HOA Coverage
The HOA covers water, sewer, trash, exterior building maintenance, and professional management. That breadth of coverage simplifies budgeting and reduces the likelihood of unexpected out-of-pocket expenses, which is a meaningful consideration when evaluating total monthly cost of ownership.
The Neighborhood
Columbia Heights sits at the intersection of transit access and neighborhood density. The Green and Yellow Line Metro is close by, and the 14th Street NW corridor provides a concentrated range of dining, grocery, and retail options within a walkable distance of the building.
The Value Case
Priced at $399,999, this residence positions itself as one of the more accessible two-bedroom options in Columbia Heights. The 1926 construction date gives the building a character and solidity that distinguishes it from the area’s newer condo inventory.
