What's Hot: 300 MPH, 18 Million Riders: How the Maglev Might Impact Traffic and Transit in the DC Area
What $900,000 Buys You in the DC Area
In What X Buys You this week, UrbanTurf takes a look at properties on the market in the $900,000 range to give readers an idea of what type of homes are available in this price point in the DC area.

Adams Morgan’s Solar Rowhouse
Last on the market in 2004, this four-bedroom V Street rowhouse has been renovated in an eco-friendly style, with double-glazed windows, high-efficiency appliances, solar panels, blown insulation and a Jydepejsen wood stove that generates a significant amount of heat. We imagine all of these features contribute to significantly lower electricity bills. The home has many warm wood elements framing the windows and doors; the medium brown shade of the trim also matches the cabinetry in the kitchen. There is a den/bedroom in the basement as well as a deep back patio.
- Full Listing: 1619 V Street NW (map)
- Price: $889,000
- Bedrooms: Four
- Bathrooms: Two
- Year Built: 1909
- Listing Agent: David Bediz, Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage

Sunny Cape Cod Near MacArthur Boulevard
The carpeted master bedroom of this three-bedroom home feels like a getaway, with bright windows along one wall, and nooks and crannies creating extra spaces around several corners. One particularly private space could be a nursery or office area, another could be a reading nook, and yet another is currently being used as a TV-watching zone. The walk-in closet is also very deep, with built in shelving. The home’s other cool space is the finished basement, with walls entirely clad in wood paneling.
- Full Listing: 4919 Ashby Street NW (map)
- Price: $895,000
- Bedrooms: Three
- Bathrooms: Two
- Year Built: 1938
- Listing Agent: Margot Wilson, Washington Fine Properties

Rockville Rancher With Rooms to Spare
Set on a very large and woodsy lot, the Rockville ranch-style home has lots of big windows throughout the main level looking out onto green spaces with mature trees and rolling expanses of grass. The backyard also has an in-ground pool and patio space around it. The basement is set up as a rec room, with a ping pong table and a piano.
- Full Listing: 9211 Overlea Drive, Rockville, MD (map)
- Price: $899,500
- Bedrooms: Five
- Bathrooms: Four
- Year Built: 1962
