Penn Quarter Residence with Full-Service Building and Downtown Connectivity
Unit 219 at The Shakespeare is a 639-square-foot residence in Penn Quarter, one of Washington’s most centrally located and walkable neighborhoods. The building, completed in 2004, delivers a level of infrastructure and amenity coverage that distinguishes it from older NW inventory at comparable price points.
The HOA structure here is notably comprehensive. Gas, pool access, recreation facilities, exterior building maintenance, custodial services, snow removal, trash, and reserve fund contributions are all included — reducing the variable cost burden that often accompanies downtown condo ownership.
Penn Quarter sits at the intersection of the city’s civic, cultural, and dining life. The neighborhood is home to major performance venues, federal institutions, and a dense concentration of restaurants and cafes, all accessible on foot. Multiple Metro lines serve the area, making car-free living a practical reality for most daily routines.
On-site rental parking is available for residents who require it, an asset that is not guaranteed in many buildings of this era and price range. At $345,000, this residence represents a direct entry point into one of DC’s most enduring downtown neighborhoods.
