Takoma Park, Maryland

A 1947 Takoma Park Home at a Rare Price Point

The home at 7220 16th Ave is a three-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath single-family property built in 1947, situated in Takoma Park, Maryland. The city of Takoma Park occupies a distinctive position in the DC metro area — incorporated, walkable, and directly adjacent to the District’s NE and NW quadrants.

At $155,000, this home enters the market at a price point that has become genuinely scarce for detached single-family properties in the inner suburbs. Buyers working with a clear-eyed understanding of the submarket will recognize the significance of that figure relative to current Takoma Park inventory.

The Red Line’s Takoma station and the Glenmont branch of the Red Line both serve the area, providing direct access to downtown DC without a car. The surrounding neighborhood offers walkable access to local dining, independent retail, and everyday services that define Takoma Park’s commercial corridors.

A Wardman team member represented the buyer in this transaction, bringing submarket knowledge and transactional experience to a purchase that required careful navigation of pricing, condition, and comparable analysis in a competitive inner-ring market.

The Property
The home at 7220 16th Ave is a detached single-family residence built in 1947, offering three bedrooms and one and a half baths. The structure reflects the mid-century residential construction common throughout Takoma Park’s established neighborhoods, with a footprint suited to renovation, owner-occupancy, or long-term holding.
The Price Point
At $155,000, this home represents one of the more accessible entry points for a detached single-family property in the immediate DC suburbs. Takoma Park’s proximity to the District and its walkable character have steadily compressed available inventory at this price level, making transactions like this one noteworthy for buyers tracking the submarket.
Transit and Connectivity
Takoma Park is served by the Red Line, with the Takoma Metro station providing direct access to downtown DC. The city’s street grid and pedestrian infrastructure support car-optional daily routines, and the broader network of bus routes supplements Metro connectivity throughout Montgomery County and into the District.
The Neighborhood
Takoma Park is one of the DC area’s most recognizable inner-ring communities, known for its independent commercial corridors, tree-lined residential streets, and direct adjacency to the District. The 16th Ave corridor sits within easy reach of the city’s core amenities while maintaining the scale and character of an established Maryland neighborhood.

About 7220 16th Ave

The home at 7220 16th Ave is a detached single-family property built in 1947, offering three bedrooms and one and a half baths on a residential street in Takoma Park, Maryland. Mid-century construction of this type is characteristic of the neighborhood’s housing stock, with solid structural bones that reward buyers willing to invest in updates. The home’s detached configuration and lot provide outdoor space and separation from neighboring structures that is increasingly difficult to find at this price in the inner suburbs.

Takoma Park occupies a singular position in the DC metro area — a fully incorporated city within Montgomery County, directly bordering both DC’s NW and NE quadrants. The city’s commercial corridors along Carroll Ave and Ethan Allen Ave support a walkable mix of independent restaurants, cafes, and neighborhood retail. Residents have access to local parks, community programming, and a civic culture that distinguishes Takoma Park from more generic suburban communities.

Daily life in Takoma Park is oriented around walkability and transit in a way that few Maryland suburbs can match. The Takoma Metro station on the Red Line places downtown DC within a direct, car-free commute, and local bus service extends connectivity throughout the county. The surrounding streets support pedestrian routines — coffee, groceries, and neighborhood dining are all accessible without a vehicle for residents of the 16th Ave area.

A Wardman team member and the Wardman Residential team at Compass have worked extensively with buyers and sellers navigating the Takoma Park and Silver Spring submarket, where single-family homes at accessible price points require precise comparable analysis and clear-eyed condition assessment. We understand the dynamics of this inner-ring Maryland corridor — from Red Line-adjacent blocks to the broader Montgomery County border zone — and bring that context to every transaction. If you are considering a single-family home in Takoma Park or the surrounding area, reach out and we would be glad to share recent comparables and our perspective on what this submarket offers.
