A Well-Proportioned Row House in the Heart of Congress Heights

The 2018 construction date is a meaningful differentiator in a neighborhood where much of the housing stock predates mid-century.

About 940 Mississippi Ave SE
940 Mississippi Ave SE is a two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath row house built in 2018, offering 1,855 square feet of interior space in Congress Heights, SE Washington. The construction vintage sets it apart from much of the surrounding housing stock, which skews significantly older. Modern mechanical systems, current insulation standards, and updated building code compliance are embedded in the structure. The home includes a paved driveway providing off-street parking, a practical feature that adds daily convenience and long-term resale value.
Congress Heights is one of SE Washington’s most established residential neighborhoods, situated in the southern portion of the quadrant near the Anacostia River corridor. The neighborhood has a distinct urban character shaped by decades of row house development and community infrastructure. Local amenities include neighborhood grocery options, transit access, and proximity to the broader SE and Anacostia commercial corridors. The area sits within reach of the Green Line Metro, connecting residents to downtown DC and points north and south.
Day-to-day life at 940 Mississippi Ave SE is anchored by the practicalities that matter most in urban row house living: off-street parking, managed exterior maintenance, and a floor plan sized for genuine use. The HOA structure keeps lawn care and trash removal off the owner’s task list, which is a meaningful quality-of-life factor. Local cafes, neighborhood groceries, and parks are accessible within the Congress Heights area. The Green Line provides a direct transit connection to the broader DC network.
