Traditional semi-detached twin homes line the residential streets of Burrville in Northeast Washington.
Burrville's central location in Northeast Washington
Tucked along the Maryland border in Ward 7, Burrville is a small pocket of Northeast Washington with a mix of early 20th-century rowhomes and single-family houses. The neighborhood attracts buyers looking for ownership opportunities at prices well below the citywide median, with quiet streets and tree-lined sidewalks. Residents stay connected to the city through nearby Metro service, bus routes and quick drives to downtown. Add in trail access along Watts Branch and the Anacostia River, and Burrville offers a slower-paced lifestyle just a few miles from the heart of the city.
A mix of home styles with prices lower than the citywide median
The neighborhood's housing stock is a mix of rowhomes, twins and detached single-family homes, most built in the early to mid-20th century. Many come with perks like off-street parking and fenced-in backyards. Comparative affordability is a big part of the draw here. The median sale price is in the mid-$200,000s, well below the citywide median and a step below those of nearby Deanwood and Hillbrook. Listings generally range from the high $100,000s to the mid-$400,000s, though inventory stays tight thanks to the neighborhood's small size. Recent renovations have kept plenty of homes move-in ready while prices still come in below those of many city neighborhoods. Nearly half of Burrville residents own their homes, so there's room for renters, too.
You'll find a wide range of architectural styles in this pocket of Northeast Washington.
Burrville is an established residential neighborhood with detached homes.
