Most interesting blog post on the Streets of Washington blog about the colorful past of the parcel in Mount Vernon Triangle where City Vista is now located.  This parcel was previously home to the District's first convention center.  The first auto show in Washington's history was held at this location in 1900.  In 1925, the second floor of this building was converted into 50 bowling alleys, thought to be one of the largest in the world at that time.  Other interesting uses included an international food market and housing the National Historical Wax Museum.  The old building had a date with the wrecking ball in 1985.

City Vista now proudly sits on this historic block bounded by K, L, 4th and 5th Streets.  The size and scope of City Vista, made possible by a completely vacant city block, is truly a refreshing change from the typical infill construction so common in the District.  There is some irony in the fact that supermarkets dealt the final blow to the international food market previously operating in the old building and now City Vista arrives with a Safeway supermarket.  

City Vista is an FHA approved development with opportunities to purchase a condo for as little as 3.5% down.  There are condos available for purchase at City Vista with 1 BR units starting in the the high $300s and 2 BR units starting in the mid $600s.  Here is a resource to view active City Vista real estate listings.

Who says that urban living involves a fourth-floor walk-up after schelping groceries on the Metro in a rainstorm......With a Safeway, Starbucks, Busboys and Poets, Results Gym, hardware store and more, City Vista brings the conveniences of the suburbs to a Downtown location.
 
City Vista's location on 5th St between K and L is at the edge of Downtown redevelopment, with plenty of urban grittiness in the area.  The upside is that this location is just two blocks from the Convention Center and four blocks from Gallery Place.  With plenty of available vacant land, it is easy to imagine a not so distant timeframe when City Vista serves as the anchor of a complete neighborhood makeover.  City Vista weighs in with a Walk Score of 98/100 - rating it a true walkers paradise!

Further enhancing the experience at City Vista is a serene one-acre interior courtyard and a rooftop pool and hot tub.  With awesome views of the city and lots of action on the roof, do you really need to make the trek out to Dewey or Rehoboth?

Currently, three units at City Vista are listed for sale including #1125 - 2BR / 2BA with parking for $535,900, #1201 - 2BR / 1BA with parking for $481,900 and #304 - 1BR / 1BA without parking for $399,900.
