DC Homes are Smallest in Nation
Thursday, November 10th, 2011 at 8:40am. 578 Views, 0 Comments.
In a recent study conducted by Realtor.com, Washington, DC ranked first in the nation for having the smallest size homes. The study calculated the median square footage of all the homes listed for sale in September, 2011.
DC homes weighed in with a median home size of 1,000 sq. ft. and a median lot size of 2,375 sq. ft. Rounding out the top five smallest median home sizes were Hawaii, Michigan, Iowa and Ohio. The DC top ranking makes sense as this study utilized state data rather than just urban cities or Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs).
Many of the smaller condos in the District are located in more venerable residential neighborhoods like Foggy Bottom and Dupont Circle with larger units more readily available in neighborhoods like Logan Circle…
DC Condos with Potomac River Views
Thursday, March 17th, 2011 at 1:44pm. 1394 Views, 2 Comments.
While the Potomac River flows several miles through DC, condos in the District with views of the river are hard to find and command huge price tags.
A significant portion of the Potomac's shoreline borders the Potomac Park and the Tidal Basin where there are no residential neighborhoods. The river does front residential neighborhoods in Foggy Bottom and Georgetown. In Georgetown, the elevated Whitehurst Freeway further obstructs views of the the Potomac from many condos. All this ads up to very few vantage points in the city with residential river views.
Yes, Potomac view are rare, but there are a few buildings with amazing Potomac views. Included in this list are buildings where the majority of the condos have a view, omitted are buildings where…

Snow's Court + Hughes Mews Alley Dwellings
Tucked away in Foggy Bottom just nine blocks from the White House are the historic Hughes Mews and Snow's Court alleys. These alleys feature charming row houses originally built in the late 19th century to accommodate the growing industrial workforce of Foggy Bottom.
Alley life in the 19th century was thought to be challenging with multiple families living in a single row house dwelling. In a project for the Historic Preservation Program at the University of Pennsylvania, School of Design, Eldra D. Walker provides an informative overview of late 19th century alley living conditions. Today, these alley homes have been restored to single-family homes and offer a unique urban experience.

The Wall Street Journal reports that the Watergate Hotel is being renovated by Euro Capital Properties, Inc., who recently paid $45M for the property.
