Exceptional opportunity to acquire Building 4184 at Livingston House, a well-located multifamily asset in the heart of Washington DC's Congress Heights neighborhood. This 13-unit apartment building is part of the established Livingston House community and offers investors the opportunity to acquire a property with strong rental demand, significant unit upgrades, and additional value-add potential. Most apartment homes have been renovated and feature updated interiors, providing residents with modern living spaces while allowing a new owner the opportunity to continue upgrading remaining units and capture future rent growth. The property's attractive mix of one, two, and three-bedroom units caters to the area's strong demand for larger family-oriented housing. Located in Southeast DC, Livingston House benefits from excellent connectivity to Downtown Washington, Capitol Hill, Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling, and National Harbor via South Capitol Street, I-295, and the Suitland Parkway. Residents enjoy convenient access to Congress Heights Metro Station, public transportation, neighborhood retail, shopping centers, restaurants, schools, and public parks. The property is also located near the ongoing St. Elizabeths East redevelopment, a transformative mixed-use project bringing new residential, retail, entertainment, and employment opportunities to the area. The community offers a desirable combination of affordability, accessibility, and convenience in one of Washington DC's rapidly evolving neighborhoods.

Washington Highlands, located between Oxon Run Park and Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling, is a residential and park-adjacent Washington neighborhood with wooded stream valleys and broad, low-rise blocks. The neighborhood’s energy concentrates around the Alabama Ave SE and Atlantic St SE corridor, where corner carryouts, barbershops, and small storefronts set a practical, everyday rhythm. Brick rowhouses and garden-style apartments define much of the streetscape, with pockets of mid-century civic buildings. Oxon Run Park frames the area with trails and playing fields that shape an outdoors-forward routine. The Washington Highlands Recreation Center anchors local activity with courts and open green space. Nearby, the Congress Heights Arts and Culture Center adds a creative counterpoint through exhibitions and performances.
