Today, we highlight the five DC neighborhoods that have been the most affordable to homebuyers this year. 

For this article, we looked at the advertised subdivisions in the city with the lowest median home prices so far in 2025, only counting neighborhoods with at least 10 home sales. Most of the neighborhoods listed in the table below have long been known as having relatively affordable homes for sale, although for places like Foggy Bottom, that affordability is largely due to a high prevalence of condos and co-ops.

Foggy Bottom led the way with a low median home price of $295,000, thanks to the fact that nearly 80% of sales were condos and co-ops. In general, smaller units have been selling in this neighborhood which is cause for the low price. Rounding out the list are four neighborhoods in Wards 7 and 8.

Barry Farms and Fort Dupont Park have the least expensive homes for sale east of the Anacostia River, thanks to a drop in home prices this year driven by smaller listings selling compared to 2024. Randle Heights and Marshall Heights complete the list, with prices well below the city median of $708,500.
