New Construction Condo in the Heart of Petworth NW

The residence at 531 Kennedy Street NW, Unit 2, is a 2021-built two-bedroom, two-bath condo offering 770 square feet in the Petworth neighborhood of NW Washington. Newer construction in this price range is relatively uncommon in the District, making the building’s age a meaningful differentiator for buyers who prioritize modern systems and finishes without the overhead of a large building.

The Kennedy Street corridor connects directly to Georgia Avenue, one of NW DC’s primary commercial and transit spines. Local cafes, neighborhood groceries, and parks are accessible on foot, and the area’s transit options provide straightforward access to downtown DC and beyond.

The HOA structure here is comprehensive for a smaller building: water, trash, insurance, common area maintenance, and reserve funds are all included in the monthly fee. For buyers comparing carrying costs across properties, this coverage simplifies the financial picture considerably.

A Wardman team member represented the buyer in this transaction, bringing focused advisory support to a competitive segment of the NW DC condo market.

The Residence
Built in 2021, the residence delivers two bedrooms and two full baths across 770 square feet. Newer construction at this price point is a relatively rare find in NW DC, and the building’s age means buyers inherit modern systems, finishes, and building envelope standards rather than deferred maintenance concerns.
Kennedy Street Location
Kennedy Street NW sits at the center of Petworth’s commercial and residential activity. Georgia Avenue is within easy reach, providing access to transit, dining, and everyday retail. The surrounding blocks are predominantly residential, with the commercial corridor a short walk away.
HOA Structure
The monthly HOA fee covers water, trash, insurance, common area maintenance, and reserve funds. This level of inclusion is notable in a smaller building and allows buyers to model carrying costs with greater confidence than properties where utilities and reserves are billed separately.
Buyer Representation
A Wardman team member guided the buyer through this transaction, providing comparable sales analysis and advisory support specific to the Petworth condo submarket. The team’s familiarity with NW DC’s newer construction inventory was central to the buyer’s decision-making process.
