Lakefront living in Washington, DC.

Two-story brick facade townhomes
Langston features a range of housing options from traditional colonial revival styles and multi-family apartment buildings to two-story single-family townhomes. Homes in the area date back as early as the 1920s and many have undergone modernizing due to investors increasing the price points within the community. Homebuyers are interested in investing in the area because of the rise in new development and the opportunity for investment return. “Developers are attracted to the low-entry-cost here — from small renovations to complete tear-downs and restructuring,” says Allen. With a median sales price of $400,000, price points here can range from the mid 300,000s to upwards of $800,000 depending on the age, size and location of the property. For example, a two-bedroom townhouse fixer-upper costs around $345,000, while a fully renovated four-bedroom townhouse with a brick facade and covered porch can go for around $760,000. Homes are typically fronted by small yards and paved sidewalks.
