Buena Vista offers rising property values and new amenities
With the excitement happening in the southeastern quadrant of Washington, D.C., now is the time to get in on Buena Vista. “All of a sudden, it’s cool to live there,” says Evan Marbury of Compass Realty. “In a couple of years, three major grocery chains have opened, a ton of locally owned restaurants have opened, and this is just the beginning, so property values will only go up.” This can be attributed to the major development happening in the newly announced Bridge District, walking distance from Buena Vista. The project will transform 100 acres of land into a vibrant center for dining, breweries and parks.
The Buena Vista neighborhood offers commuters proximity to the city
Many of the homes in Buena Vista are attached single-family houses, ranging from condos to townhomes to brick homes with separate yards. Prices range from just over $150,000 for a two-bedroom condo to $550,000 for a three-story, four-bedroom townhomes. The streets are lined by wide sidewalks, making Buena Vista a very walkable neighborhood. Despite not having many open green spaces, there are a plethora of mature trees between housing units. As Marbury notes, proximity to D.C. is key. “Even with the river, it’s actually easier to get to D.C. from the southeast side," Marbury says. "That’s huge for people commuting into work daily.”
