A Congress Heights Row House in Southeast Washington

714 Congress Street SE is situated in Congress Heights, a neighborhood anchored by longstanding residential blocks and a strong sense of place in the SE quadrant of Washington, DC. The home occupies a position on Congress Street, one of the area’s primary residential corridors, with the Green Line accessible nearby at Congress Heights or Southern Avenue stations.

Congress Heights has long been one of DC’s most historically significant neighborhoods south of the Anacostia River. The area offers direct access to the broader SE quadrant, including the Anacostia waterfront, St. Elizabeths campus, and the growing network of parks and civic infrastructure that defines this part of the city.

At $360,000, this home represents one of the more accessible price points for DC row house ownership. Buyers seeking a foothold in the District — with the equity-building advantages of homeownership and proximity to the city’s core — will find Congress Heights a substantive option worth serious consideration.

The Neighborhood
Congress Heights is one of Southeast Washington’s most established residential neighborhoods, located south of the Anacostia River. The area features a mix of row houses and single-family homes on tree-lined streets, with a community character shaped by decades of civic investment and neighborhood continuity.
Transit Access
The Green Line serves Congress Heights directly, with stations at Congress Heights and Southern Avenue providing straightforward access to the broader Metro system. Commuters can reach downtown DC, the Navy Yard, and points north without relying on a vehicle.
The Price Point
At $360,000, this home sits at a price point that remains rare for DC row house ownership. Buyers who have been priced out of NW and Capitol Hill submarkets will find that Congress Heights offers genuine value and the full benefits of DC homeownership.
