Petworth

Petworth

The Location:
Georgia & New Hampshire Avenues, NW

The Character:
From sedate, to sought after... When the DC housing market took off, buyers started buying north and south of Petworth, and pretty much missed this neighborhood altogether. But when prices took off in both those locations and became increasingly competitive, buyers realized they missed this quiet gem, and traffic started to pick up in this community significantly. As with most of DC’s emerging neighborhoods, it was the smaller investors and developers first to Petworth, taking the risks to fix and flip, showing Petworth’s potential and value, and further opening the door to more substantive investment and development in this community. For buyers’ laying down roots in Petworth, they found value, newly renovated homes, and more square footage at affordable price points.
