DC Condo Boutique

With a popular location and plenty of desirable features, City Homes is taking multi-level living to the next level. This new condo building is expected to deliver this spring, with your choice of nearly four-dozen multi-story residences in Northeast DC.

The floor plans of City Homes come in one-, two- and even three-bedroom layouts in a townhome-style design. The two- and three-level homes make it easy to blend private living space, workspace and entertainment space into one desirable address.

Each of the residences comes with its own private outdoor space, as well. Units either have a balcony or a patio.

Units on the fifth floor of the building offer the added bonus of private roof deck terraces. Many feature some impressive views of the

While there are plenty of pet-friendly housing options across DC, some go way beyond the ordinary when it comes to added amenities. From pet spas to rooftop dog parks, there’s no limit when it comes to some of the craziest pet-friendly properties around.

It’s obvious that some of the newer construction properties are looking for a way to set themselves apart and appealing to pet-owners can be lucrative. Even some of DC’s residential properties without a lot of amenities are bringing in local businesses, such as dog-walking services and local pet stores, to help drum up future business of their own.

City Market at O has its own rooftop dog park. This apartment property also comes with a washing and grooming station for pets, as well as plenty of

There’s obviously plenty of history tied to the DC area, but some of its neighborhoods are individually just as unique. In particular, the history of Eckington can be traced back to DC’s first electric streetcar.

By many accounts, Eckington is regarded as the District’s very first true streetcar suburb. That’s because the neighborhood was designed as a streetcar destination.

Eckington originally belonged to one of the city’s earliest mayors. He named his estate Eckington after the place he was born in England.

In the late 1800s, a real estate investor purchased some of the land with the idea of building a bedroom suburb. The plan called for large lots, paved streets and electric streetlights, something you didn’t necessarily find in other

Once just fields and farmland, the Pleasant Plains neighborhood of today offers diversity and affordability. This central DC community is mostly residential, but it’s also home to Howard University, and more recently, plans to bring in some new development.

Many of its residents today are tied to the university. Its history, however, stretches back generations.

Pleasant Plains gains its namesake from a large estate of the same name. The massive property was eventually sold off, divided into suburbs, and annexed by the city.

These days, neighborhood streets are still lined by two-level, Wardman-style rowhouses, but you’ll also now find some newer construction condos for buyers to choose from. Still, Pleasant Plains offers the advantage of

With new retailers, restaurants and residential options to choose from, the Park View neighborhood is certainly on the rise. This small, Northwest DC neighborhood is surrounded by some of the region’s most popular neighborhoods, but still manages to retain its own unique identity.

While predominantly residential in the past, developers have recently started to take notice of Park View. Originally formed around the turn-of-the-century, Park View gains its name from the grounds of the Old Soldiers’ Home nearby. Many streets in the neighborhood end at its grounds.

Highly diverse today, neighbors in Park View tend to come from a range of backgrounds, with a mix of young families moving in and long-standing families still at home in the community. As

Thanks to Amazon, the spotlight is certainly shining bright on Crystal City these days. This urban neighborhood is a great place to work, live and play, and it’s now home to the new Amazon HQ2.

It’s estimated the online giant will eventually bring 25,000 new jobs to the area and give a major boost to local real estate. The project’s first towers are planned for Crystal City and that could mean big things for the future.

With the expectation that many of those employees will be searching for a nearby place to live, residential prices in the area are already on the rise. Which much of Arlington consists of a diverse mix of housing, most homes in Crystal City tend to be multi-unit buildings, including high-rise condos and apartments.

For reimagined Georgian luxury in Kalorama, it’s time to come home to The Cooper. The enchanting property is a recent conversion project that took a late 1800s-era Georgian-style mansion and re-made it into 17 condominium homes.

Prior to the condos, the grand home was used as a bed-and-breakfast. For condo owners, The Cooper adds the advantage of plenty of charm and more than a century of character.
