Luxury Waterfront Condos & Coops, Washington Metro
If detached single-family homes in Washington Metro’s commuter suburbs account for the largest number of residential sales, it is the high-rise coastline condo towers that grab the most attention. It is also worth noting that waterfront neighborhoods are among the most active when it comes to new development and redevelopment. The Wharf in Washington’s Southwest Waterfront is a prime example of ambitious redevelopment, resulting in completely transformed mile-long stretch along the Potomac River and Washington Channel, with new docks, shops, restaurants, entertainment, and high-end condo buildings like VIO, and Amaris.
Not far from The Wharf (formerly known as District Wharf), another DC transformation continues. The Navy Yard neighborhood is becoming one of the hottest tickets in town, from Nationals Park (home to MLB’s Washington Nationals) and the Ballpark District to new condo towers like Peninsula 88, and Watermark at Buzzard Point. This hotbed of new activity is happening at a portion of the Southeast quadrant where the Anacostia River, the Potomac River, and Washington Channel all come together, resulting in some spectacular water views as well as scenic walking trails and greenbelts.
Heading northwest, you’ll soon come to some of DC’s most venerable and sought-after waterfront addresses. The iconic Watergate complex in the Foggy Bottom neighborhood, includes three residential cooperative towers that account for some of the top real estate sales on a regular basis. These mid-century modern apartments are often remodeled by the region’s top architects and interior designers. The buildings’ sweeping balconies offer some of the region’s most dramatic and direct views of the Potomac River. Right next-door is Georgetown, long celebrated for its top shops and restaurants, its prestigious real estate properties, and its famed waterfront. Coastline condos are a given here, including favorites like the Residences at Harbourside, Flour Mill, 3303 Water Street, and the Ritz-Carlton Georgetown.
The waterfront destination journey continues on the other side of the river. The Rosslyn waterfront neighborhood is often referred to as the Gateway to Arlington and is home to some of Washington Metro’s best-known coastal addresses. The aptly named Waterview features Le Meridien Hotel on the lower floors, with the Waterview condos on floors 14 through 30. Nearby is Turnberry Tower, known as the tallest condo building in Washington Metro.
Both of these buildings, as well as others in the area, feature spectacular views of the river and all the way across to Georgetown. Meanwhile, Old Town Alexandria is a true crown jewel. Founded in 1749, the former tobacco port is one of the nation’s top destination places, with 5-star restaurants, high-end boutique retailers, art galleries, quaint cobblestone streets, historic Federal-style rowhouses, and stunning waterfront condos like The Oronoco, and Robinson Landing.
The waterfront condos and co-ops mentioned above are but a sampling of the many luxury buildings in Washington Metro that are close to a body of water, or that offer water views. It’s also an evolving menu with numerous new development projects in the pipeline.
