Woodley Park Condos and Co-ops: Prices by Building

Woodley Park’s condos and co-ops sell in two distinct tiers. Across 74 closed sales in 12 buildings over the 24 months through September 2026, the median was $487,000, or $530 per square foot. However, Wardman Tower ($2,822,500 median) and the Shoreham West co-op on the neighborhood’s edge ($1,900,000) sit far above that, while the neighborhood’s other buildings traded at medians from $215,000 to about $615,000.

Woodley Park has a short list of condo and co-op buildings; moreover, each one trades in its own market. Inside the boundary we use for the Woodley Park neighborhood page, just 20 condos and co-ops closed in the 12 months through September 2026, at a median of $447,000. That is too few to say anything about a single building; therefore, the numbers below use 24 months of Bright MLS closed sales (October 2024 through September 2026), grouped by street address. I’ve also included two buildings on the edges of that boundary that buyers searching Woodley Park look at: Shoreham West on Calvert Street and Woodley Park Towers on Devonshire Place.

What the numbers show

  • Two price tiers. Overall, condos as a group had a median of $471,250 across 58 sales. The co-op median was $1,852,500; however, that mostly reflects Shoreham West’s large apartments, not co-ops being pricier by nature.
  • Cash is common. In fact, 39 of the 74 sales closed in cash, including every sale at Wardman Tower and Shoreham West.
  • Speed varies by building. For example, Cathedral Park’s median time on market was 12.5 days. By contrast, The Carlton’s was 60 days, and its homes sold for a median 88.9% of their original list price, so buyers there have had more room to negotiate.

What sets the buildings apart

Wardman Tower

Wardman Tower at 2660 Connecticut Ave NW is the 1928 tower beside the former Wardman Park hotel site, restored by JBG into 32 condos of roughly 2,500 to 4,600 square feet, with final deliveries in 2017. In addition, recent listings describe a 24/7 concierge, a fitness center and garage parking. At a median $853 per square foot, it was also the highest-priced building per square foot here, ahead of Shoreham West’s $748, though on only four sales.

Shoreham West, Shoreham North and Cathedral Park

Shoreham West at 2700 Calvert St NW is a 1965 full-service co-op with large floor plans; its sales ran from $440,000 to $3,400,000. Similarly, listings describe a 24-hour concierge, doormen and a rooftop fitness room, and the monthly fee included real estate taxes in 12 of its 13 sales.

Shoreham North at 2501 Calvert St NW is a nine-story 1968 condo with a 24-hour front desk and a roof deck. In other words, it is the steady middle of the market: a $500,000 median and $486 per square foot, mostly one- and two-bedroom homes.

Cathedral Park at 3100 Connecticut Ave NW dates to 1923 and was the most active building, with 14 sales at a $447,000 median. Likewise, listings mention a front desk and on-site management.

Woodley Park Towers and The Carlton

Woodley Park Towers (1929) is a prewar building with a 24-hour concierge, according to its listings, and a $614,950 median. The Carlton (1963), meanwhile, is the entry point, with mostly studios and one-bedrooms, a rooftop pool, and a fee that covered electricity in all 8 of its sales.

Smaller Woodley Park condo buildings

Finally, the rest are smaller buildings: two 1930s condos on Cortland Place, a 1930s co-op at 2854 Connecticut Avenue, and a small condo at 2818 Connecticut Avenue, where a 2026 listing mentioned a work-week concierge. However, recent listings for the Cortland Place and 2854 Connecticut buildings don’t advertise a staffed front desk.

Agent Insight
In Woodley Park, I look at the building before the unit. A co-op fee that includes the building’s taxes can look high next to a condo fee until you add the condo owner’s own tax bill back in. And where every recent sale closed in cash, as at Shoreham West and Wardman Tower, I’d confirm the building’s financing rules before you fall for a floor plan.

What to check before you buy a Woodley Park condo or co-op

Co-op ownership

In a co-op, you buy shares, not real estate. In other words, you own stock in the cooperative corporation and get a proprietary lease for your apartment, and in most co-ops the board interviews and approves each buyer.

Co-op financing

Co-op financing has its own rules. First, a co-op purchase is financed with a share loan, and fewer lenders offer them. Buildings can also cap how much you borrow: a 2025 Shoreham West listing stated that the co-op does not permit more than 50% financing of the purchase price. Therefore, ask for the building’s current limit and the lenders that have closed loans there before you write an offer.

Total monthly cost

Compare total monthly cost, not just the fee. For one thing, a co-op’s monthly charge usually covers your share of the building’s real estate taxes and any underlying mortgage. In these sales, for example, the fee included taxes in 15 of 16 co-op sales and in 2 of 58 condo sales. Consequently, add the condo’s own property tax bill before you compare, and ask your tax advisor how the co-op’s share of taxes and interest is treated on your return.

The condo resale package

Read a condo’s resale package closely. Under DC Code § 42-1904.11, the seller has to deliver the condo documents and a resale certificate within 10 business days after you sign the contract, and you can cancel within 3 business days after you receive them. In particular, the certificate lists capital expenditures the association has approved but not budgeted, the status of its reserves, its budget and any pending lawsuits. That is where a coming special assessment usually shows up; for that reason, ask the association about planned projects too.

However, co-ops aren’t covered by the Condominium Act, so ask the co-op for its financial statements, budget and board minutes. In any case, your settlement attorney can confirm what applies to your purchase.

What the fee covers

Check what the fee covers. Monthly fee amounts weren’t reported for these sales in our MLS data, but what the fee includes was. For example, heat was included in 34 of 74 sales and electricity in 20, which matters when you compare a Carlton studio with a Shoreham North one-bedroom.

Alternatively, if nothing fits in Woodley Park, Cleveland Park to the north and Kalorama to the south have similar prewar and mid-century buildings, and what 32 DC neighborhoods cost to buy gives the citywide view.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a condo cost in Woodley Park?

Over the 24 months through September 2026, Woodley Park condos sold for a median of $471,250 across 58 sales, and condos and co-ops together for $487,000, about $530 per square foot. Meanwhile, building medians ranged from $215,000 at The Carlton to $2,822,500 at Wardman Tower.

What is Wardman Tower?

Wardman Tower is the 1928 building at 2660 Connecticut Ave NW, restored by JBG into 32 condos that delivered in 2017. Its 4 sales in the 24 months through September 2026 ranged from $2,775,000 to $2,995,000, all in cash, at a median $853 per square foot.

Can you get a mortgage on a Woodley Park co-op?

Often, but on the building’s terms: co-ops use share loans, and boards can cap borrowing, as the 50% cap stated in a 2025 Shoreham West listing shows. In fact, 14 of the 16 co-op sales here closed in cash, so confirm the rules early.

In short, in Woodley Park the building sets the price, the fee and the financing, so compare buildings before units. If you’re weighing a specific building or apartment, I’m happy to walk through it with you before you write an offer.
