About this House

Positioned on one of Capitol Hill’s most desirable blocks, 215 5th Street SE presents a rare opportunity to acquire a fully configured three-unit asset in the heart of Washington, DC. Just moments from the U.S. Capitol, Eastern Market, and multiple Metro stations, this property offers an unbeatable location that consistently attracts high-quality tenants. The building is thoughtfully laid out with three separate units, making it ideal for investors seeking strong, stable rental income or for an owner-occupant looking to offset their mortgage with additional units. Each residence benefits from the charm and character expected in Capitol Hill, paired with functional layouts that appeal to today’s renters. Tenants enjoy immediate access to the vibrant neighborhood amenities that define Capitol Hill living—renowned restaurants, neighborhood cafes, boutique shopping, and green spaces are all just steps away. Proximity to the Capitol complex, Union Station, and major employment hubs further enhances the property’s desirability, supporting premium rental rates and low vacancy. With its prime location and enduring demand drivers, 215 5th Street SE stands out as a true Class A rental investment in one of DC’s most resilient and sought-after submarkets.
