Valley Vista Condominiums
Located at 2032-2040 Belmont Road NW, Washington, DC 20009 | Kalorama
With its 169 condominium residences, Valley Vista is so large that it actually has two street addresses, 2032 and 2040 Belmont Road in the affluent Kalorama neighborhood. For the record, however, 2032 Belmont Road with its long front awning is considered the building’s main entrance. Built in 1928, Valley Vista has an architectural appearance that is quite different from the Beaux-Arts and Victorian styles so prevalent in the area. Instead, the building is pure Art Deco, designed by Louis Justement with linear concepts, blocky bays, and multiple wings.
There’s quite a wide array of floorplans at Valley Vista, with studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom units coming in varying sizes in a range from 375 to over 1,400 square feet. In other words, you can find a studio larger than some one-bedrooms, and one-bedrooms larger than some two-bedroom layouts—all part of a landmark building with an eclectic nature and a storied past. The Valley Vista is in a leafy, hilly area, across from a verdant greenbelt that includes Rock Creek Trail and horse stables. Other notable residential buildings in the neighborhood include the Dresden, the Carthage, 2101 Connecticut, the Wyoming, and others.
