Walk This Way: Adams Morgan (20009)

Wikipedia says:

“Adams Morgan is a culturally diverse neighborhood in Northwest Washington, D.C., centered at the intersection of 18th Street NW and Columbia Road NW. Adams Morgan is considered the heart of Washington’s Latino community, and is a major night life area with many bars and restaurants, particularly along 18th Street, the main commercial street. Much of the neighborhood is composed of 19th- and early 20th-century row houses and apartment buildings. Despite recent improvements in public safety and revitalization efforts, crime remains a significant problem in the neighborhood. 

Dupont Circle is located to the south of Adams Morgan, while Mount Pleasant is to the north, and Columbia Heights is to the east. The neighborhood is bounded by Connecticut Avenue NW to the west, Rock Creek Park to the northwest, Harvard Street to the north, 16th Street to the east, and U Street and Florida Avenue NW to the south.” 

Regardless of any crime issues, Walk Score is a big fan of Adams Morgan, and gave the overall neighborhood a score of 93. As of today, there are 30 properties on the market in that ZIP (20009), and the average price is $630,116.  Average days on market is 87. Of the 30 available properties, all but two are condos. So, what do you get for the money there? I figured looking at a home near or at the average price would be a good place to start. 

1632 Beekman Pl. NW, unit B is listed at $629,900 and has only been on the market for 8 days. It’s a 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath upper unit condo townhouse in the gated community of Beekman Place. The property has been freshly painted throughout and features a balcony, city views, and an upgraded kitchen with new cabinets and maple floors. The rest of the home has parquet floors. Two unassigned parking passes are also part of the deal.
