Inventories will remain steady to slightly higher. In spite of what you may be reading elsewhere, this is not yet a buyer’s market! Single family properties located on Capitol Hill and surrounding neigborhoods such as Kingman Park, Rosedale, Navy Yard and H Street and Union Market/NOMA are moving quickly when priced within reason!
Capitol Hill is prized for its iconic Victorian rowhomes, high walkability (Walk Score often above 90), and proximity to the U.S. Capitol and Eastern Market. It offers a blend of historic charm and modern amenities, making it a top choice for families and professionals seeking a long-term community.
Yes, much of Capitol Hill is within a Historic District. This means exterior renovations—such as windows, doors, and brickwork—must be approved by the Historic Preservation Review Board (HPRB). Don Denton specializes in helping buyers understand these guidelines before they purchase.
Kingman Park is one of the most sought-after areas for first-time buyers due to its relative affordability compared to the Hill. It features beautiful Federal-style porches and is steps away from The Fields at RFK and the Anacostia Riverwalk Trail and the new Washington Commanders football stadium.
While both neighborhoods offer a tight-knit residential feel, Rosedale is often noted for the Rosedale Recreation Center and its proximity to the H Street Corridor. Both areas have seen significant appreciation as "Hill East" continues to expand and modernize.
Navy Yard is the hub of luxury DC condos and modern high-rise living. While there are traditional rowhomes similar to those that define Capitol Hill, Navy Yard also offers full-amenity buildings with rooftop pools, fitness centers, and stunning views of the Anacostia River and Nationals Park.
Navy Yard remains a high-demand rental market due to its proximity to the Department of Transportation, Navy Yard Metro, the US Capitol complex, the Library of Congress, the US Supreme Court and world-class dining. Investors often look here for stable "class-A" condo assets with high occupancy rates.
On H Street proper, exclusively condos and multiunit rental buildings. On either side of H and north to Florida Avenue, more traditional single family Victorian and porch front architecture.
H Street Corridor remains a high-demand rental market due to its proximity to the Union Station transportation hub, the US Capitol complex, the Library of Congress, the US Supreme Court, Gallaudet University and the vibrant night life on H and in the Union Market area. Investors often look here for stable "class-A" condo assets with high occupancy rates.
NOMA/Union Market is the hub of DC condos and modern high-rise living. While there are traditional rowhomes similar to those that define Capitol Hill, NOMA/Union Market also offers full-amenity buildings with rooftop pools, fitness centers, and stunning views of Washington DC.
NOMA/Union Market remains a high-demand rental market due to its proximity to the Union Station transportation hub, the US Capitol complex, the Library of Congress, the US Supreme Court, Gallaudet University and world-class dining. Investors often look here for stable "class-A" condo assets with high occupancy rates.
