Watergate South: A Benchmark Foggy Bottom Address

Unit 916 at the Watergate South is a two-bedroom, two-bath residence spanning 1,264 square feet on the ninth floor of one of Washington’s most storied residential complexes. Built in 1971 and set along the Potomac, the Watergate South is part of the larger Watergate complex that has defined the NW waterfront for more than five decades.

The monthly HOA fee covers an unusually broad range of expenses — air conditioning, heat, electricity, gas, cable television, high-speed internet, water, sewer, insurance, building maintenance, and parking — making the true cost of ownership more predictable than most comparable condominiums in the city. A private garage space conveys with the sale.

Foggy Bottom is a neighborhood defined by institutional anchors and riverfront access. The Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts sits within the immediate vicinity, and the Potomac waterfront trails and Rock Creek Park connections are readily accessible. The Foggy Bottom Metro station provides direct access to the broader DC transit network.

The Wardman Residential team at Compass has worked extensively with buyers and sellers across the Watergate complex and the broader Foggy Bottom submarket. Reach out to discuss current availability, recent comparable sales, or how this residence fits within your broader search.

The Residence
Unit 916 offers 1,264 square feet across two bedrooms and two full baths, a scale that is increasingly uncommon in the NW condo market at this price point. The ninth-floor position provides elevation and separation from street-level activity along New Hampshire Ave.
HOA Structure
The all-inclusive HOA structure is a defining feature of Watergate South ownership. Utilities, cable, internet, building maintenance, insurance, and parking are all folded into the monthly fee, simplifying budgeting and reducing the variables that affect monthly carrying costs.
Foggy Bottom Setting
Foggy Bottom occupies a distinctive position in the NW quadrant, bordered by Georgetown to the west and the Kennedy Center to the south. The neighborhood’s walkable core connects residents to the waterfront, local dining, and the George Washington University campus corridor.
Waterfront Access
The Potomac waterfront trail system runs adjacent to the Watergate complex, offering direct access to recreational paths that extend north toward Georgetown and south toward the Tidal Basin. The setting distinguishes this address from inland NW alternatives at comparable price points.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Property

Key details about the residence, building, and location to help you evaluate this opportunity.

The Watergate South HOA fee is notably comprehensive, covering electricity, gas, heat, air conditioning, cable television, high-speed internet, water, sewer, building insurance, exterior maintenance, custodial services, building management, pool access, and parking. This all-inclusive structure makes monthly carrying costs more predictable than most NW condominiums, where utilities and parking are typically separate line items.
Yes, one private garage space conveys with the sale of unit 916. Parking is included within the HOA fee structure, meaning there is no separate monthly parking charge on top of the HOA. Private garage parking is a meaningful amenity in Foggy Bottom, where street parking is limited.
The Foggy Bottom Metro station is served by the Orange, Blue, and Silver lines, providing direct connections to downtown DC, Rosslyn, Arlington, and points east and west across the regional system. The station is within close reach of the Watergate complex, making car-free commuting a practical option for many destinations.
The Watergate complex consists of multiple buildings developed in phases beginning in the late 1960s, including residential, office, and hotel components. The Watergate South at 700 New Hampshire Ave NW is one of three residential condominium buildings within the complex. Each building operates under its own condominium association, though all share the landmark address and architectural identity of the broader development.
At $615,000, a 1,264-square-foot two-bedroom, two-bath residence is a relatively generous footprint for the Foggy Bottom submarket. Many NW condominiums in this price range offer smaller floor plans, particularly in newer construction. The Watergate South’s mid-century construction is characterized by deeper, more spacious layouts than much of the contemporary condo inventory in the area.
The Watergate complex sits adjacent to the Potomac waterfront trail system, which connects north toward Georgetown and south toward West Potomac Park and the National Mall. Rock Creek Park trail access is also available from the northern edge of the neighborhood. The Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts is within walking distance, adding a significant cultural amenity to the immediate area.
Buildings constructed in the early 1970s like the Watergate South often feature robust structural construction and larger unit footprints than newer developments, but buyers should review the condominium association’s reserve fund, recent capital improvement history, and any pending assessments as part of due diligence. A thorough review of the HOA financial documents and meeting minutes is standard practice and strongly advisable.
The Wardman Residential team at Compass has direct experience with Watergate South transactions and the broader Foggy Bottom condo market. We can provide recent comparable sales, help you interpret the HOA financials, and position your offer competitively if you decide to move forward.
