 Victorian/Eastlake Style Row House 

1535 Monroe St NW - listed for $645,000

Carmel Marchiatto to Starbucks…..Jim Graham to Ward 1.….The Captain to Tennille…..row houses to Columbia Heights …yes these are things that just naturally go together.

Significant portions of the Columbia Heights neighborhood was built in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and was dominated by row house architecture. The neighborhood offered middle-class Washingtonians single-family home ownership options along its row house lined streets. By 1914, Columbia Heights had four street car lines providing access to Downtown in less than 20 minutes.

Columbia Heights row house architecture included the following four styles:

Early Federal Style

DC's simplest row house…

NBCWashington covers the growing popularity of DC's Trinidad neighborhood.  Trinidad remains one of DC's more affordable neighborhoods and is attracting young buyers who have been priced out other popular DC neighborhoods like Adams Morgan and Columbia Heights. Trinidad is still a neighborhood in DC where first-time buyers can purchase a single-family rowhouse.

 Located directly north of DC's blossoming H Street corridor, Trinidad is just steps away from this happening entertainment district.

Justice Kagan House Shopping in Logan Circle

Friday, January 21st, 2011 at 7:50am. 927 Views, 1 Comments.

Above The Law reports that Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan is in the market for a Logan Circle rowhouse.  While still slightly gritty, but rapidly gentrifying neighborhoods are not seemingly good fits for the typical buttoned-down supreme court justice........it would seem that Justice Kagan and Logan Circle are made for one another.

Previously, while working at Harvard Law School, Kagan lived in Cambridge, which is often referred to as the "Peoples' Republic of Cambridge."    While Cambridge is heavily influenced by Harvard and MIT, it does have many of the same characteristics as Logan Circle.  These similarities include eclectic restaurants, historic row houses, newer luxury condo buildings, parking challenges and neighborhood activists. …
