Barry Farm sits near D.C.’s new Bridge District project
With big plans in the imminent future, there is no better time to call Barry Farm home. Located in the rapidly growing southeast quadrant of D.C., Barry Farm is in an area with “a ton of development and opportunity coming quickly,” says Evan Marbury of Compass Realty. The heart of Barry Farm is less than a mile from the Fredrick Douglass Bridge, the site of the Bridge District, a project to transform 100 acres of land into a hub for dining, shopping and more. The project will bring national grocery chains to the area while being the epicenter for local dining options in the southeastern part of D.C.
Homes with Metro access appeal to city workers
Housing options in Barry Farm range from detached ranch-style homes to high-rise condos. Many of the detached homes feature fenced-in front yards, great for gardening, but you will have to find parking on the street as driveways are rare. These homes typically sell for around $200,000, while two-bedroom condos start at $120,000 and three-bedroom units are just under $300,000. “There is great equity potential in the area if you are looking to purchase,” says Marbury. The location and proximity to D.C. make Barry Farms ideal for residents who work in the city. “We’re right across the bridge from the city and so close to the Metro, it makes it easy to get to work.”
The Barry Farm Recreation Center offers indoor and outdoor amenities
Residents gather for fitness and fun at the Barry Farm Recreation Center. Open six days a week, the recreation center features a full indoor pool with lanes, in addition to a leisure area with slides and diving boards. The fitness rooms are perfect for those who want to get a cardio workout or pump some iron, and the game area is great for kids to play ping pong or foosball. Locals come to shoot hoops on the indoor and outdoor basketball courts, and the multipurpose synthetic field is the home to many youth football and soccer games. The Barry Farm Recreation Center also has a playground for younger kids, as does the Savoy Playground area.
