This all-brick, semi-detached four-unit property in the rapidly growing Congress Heights neighborhood presents an outstanding investment opportunity with excellent income-producing potential. Each unit offers a functional one-bedroom, one-bath layout...
featuring open living spaces, generous natural light, spacious bedrooms, and tiled bathrooms. Ideal for investors or owner-occupants, the property provides the flexibility to live in one unit while generating rental income from the remaining three. With solid fundamentals and significant upside, this is a rare opportunity to build long-term value in one of Washington, DC’s emerging neighborhoods.
Bellevue, located between the Potomac River and Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling, is a residential and park-adjacent Washington neighborhood with broad lawns and wooded edges. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Bellevue Library and the small retail cluster along MacArthur Boulevard NW, where a low-key strip of everyday storefronts meets a leafy streetscape. Mid-century brick colonials and ramblers sit on curving streets that feel set back from the city’s louder corridors. The Palisades Recreation Center and nearby trails shape an outdoors-forward routine. The C&O Canal towpath and river overlooks add a quiet, scenic geography that reads more like a riverside enclave than an urban grid.
