The condominium market in Georgetown offers a stunning array of both historic and newer buildings. The construction of the Ritz-Carlton Georgetown began with an old and abandoned industrial building, excavating a large area of land around it, and adding new brick structures that blended with the original architecture. The Flour Mill looks like an old building but was actually built in the 1980s. The Paper Mill has a similar aesthetic and is also located at the site of former factory structures. The Residences at Harbourside is an award-winning modernist structure from Arthur Cotton Moore, and Washington Harbour is a larger mixed-use building right next-door, also delivered by Moore, and perched right at the water’s edge. Blending traditional brick forms with a modern industrial chic vibe, the boutique 1055 High stands flush against the walls of the historic C&O Canal and is just steps from the Potomac River. These are just a sampling of Georgetown’s iconic residential buildings.

More About Georgetown Condos, Washington, DC
Georgetown is generally regarded as the oldest neighborhood in Washington, DC, so old in fact, that it predates the District itself. Once known as a shipping port for the tobacco trade, the community was founded in 1751 and there are still a few homes that date back to this nascent era. The neighborhood is composed of two parts, the East Village and West Village, although you won’t notice any boundary markers whilst traipsing about the quaint brick sidewalks. As far as surrounding neighborhoods, the sizeable Georgetown community has many: Glover Park and Observatory Circle to the north, Kalorama, Dupont Circle to the northeast, the West End and Foggy Bottom to the east and southeast, and Palisades, Foxhall, and Burleith to the west and northwest. The Potomac River takes up the entire southern side.
When it comes to real estate prices, Georgetown has long been regarded as one of Washington, DC’s most expensive neighborhoods. Charming brick townhomes with Federal-style architecture, and freestanding mansions in a variety of historic designs are obvious symbols of the community’s prestige. But luxury condominiums also play a major role, both in the northern and eastern part of the neighborhood, as well as throughout the extremely desirable waterfront to the south. Here you’ll find a swath of notable buildings hugging the edges of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal and the Potomac River. The recently renovated Georgetown Waterfront Park is the only thing dividing some of these buildings from the water itself. In the cast of the exclusive Washington Harbour building, the only separation is a walkway.
Public amenities and attractions are a large part of the neighborhood’s lasting appeal. You’ll never lack for things to do in Georgetown. There’s an endless area of top restaurants, designer fashion boutiques, art galleries, music lounges, hiking along the C&O Trail, or kayaking on the river, enjoying a historic walking tour along cobblestone streets, or taking in a black tie gala at the Kennedy Center in next-door Foggy Bottom. Those interested in the luxury condo lifestyle in this prestigious community will find lots to choose from, ranging from studio apartments to palatial penthouses.
