Walk This Way: Friendship Heights (20015)

Chase Point in Friendship Heights

During my research for this post, I discovered that Friendship Heights is much like Hollywood used to be: Everyone knows it’s there, but there are no true boundaries to distinguish it from other parts of the city. (Hollywood had its boundaries officially established in 2005).  Here’s what Wikipedia has to say:  

“Friendship Heights is a residential neighborhood in northwest Washington, DC and southern Montgomery County, Maryland. Though its borders are not clearly defined, Friendship Heights consists roughly of the neighborhoods and commercial areas around Wisconsin Avenue north of Fessenden Street NW and Tenleytown to Somerset Terrace and Willard Avenue in Maryland, and from River Road in the west to Reno Road and 41st Street in the east. Within Maryland west of Wisconsin Avenue is the so-called “Village of Friendship Heights,” technically a special taxation district.” 

Whenever I do posts like this, I like to find homes at different price points to give readers an idea of what they can get for the money. One thing was very clear when I did my Redfin search: Living in Friendship Heights may be incredibly convenient, but it does not come cheap. The average price for a residential property is $1,403,991; the median is $1,269,000. It turns out that both the least expensive ($699K) and most expensive ($2.9M) condo are in the same luxury building in 20015 (Friendship Heights also covers 20016), and you can find the goods on them below. To find out more about the building and its amenities, visit PNHoffman.com.
