Rowhomes in 16th Street Heights. 

With the spring housing market in full swing, UrbanTurf is taking its annual look at the neighborhood markets around the DC region. Today, we head over to 16th Street Heights. 

Home prices shot up in the first five months of the year in this neighborhood along 16th Street just east of Rock Creek Park. Driving the price appreciation are the neighborhood's rowhouse stock: average prices are up 14% for three-bedrooms and nearly 20% for homes with 4+ bedrooms. The rise in prices is dampening sales like the rest of the city, with total sales volume down 40% compared to this time last year.

  • $1.05 million -- The median home price in 2022, up 27% compared to last year at this time.
