Lanier Heights Condo With a Walk-in Closet

For those who want to buy at this price but don’t want a long commute, a few options in Lanier Heights popped up in our search. The small neighborhood is tucked between Mount Pleasant and Adams Morgan and is a quick walk to many other neighborhoods, but the price point for one-bedrooms tends to be quite a bit lower than in other parts of DC. This unit is bright, well-maintained and the bedroom is tucked away from the main living area in a “junior one-bedroom” fashion. It’s on the small side, but a walk-in closet and built-ins would help keep the space uncluttered. The one thing on the high side is the unit’s monthly fees.

• Full Listing: 1801 Clydesdale Place NW, #704 (map)
• Price: $169,900
• Bedrooms: One
• Bathrooms: One
• Square Footage: 566
• HOA Fees: $395
• Listing Agent: David Bediz, Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage
