Exact street address shared with shortlisted applicants ahead of the in-person showing.

About the room
The available room is on the second floor and measures approximately 10'5" x 13'4". It was recently refreshed with improved insulation and three new casement windows. The north-facing room receives abundant natural light throughout the day. It also includes a closet. Available for move-in in early June 2026.

Note: the room photos in this listing were taken before the recent renovation. The three old windows have since been replaced with large casement windows, and insulation was improved at the same time.

About the house
You'll share the home with three friendly housemates. Common areas include a full kitchen with dishwasher, living room, dining room, and in-unit laundry. The home has 3.5 bathrooms. Utilities (electricity, water, and internet) are split among the four roommates and typically average about $150 per person per month.

Two DC recreation centers are a five-minute walk away, one with an indoor pool and one with an outdoor pool. The D30 and D32 buses stop right outside (D32: 0.0 mi, D30: 0.1 mi). Rhode Island Ave-Brentwood Metro Station is a 14-minute walk, and Shaw-Howard University Metro Station is also within walking distance.

Parking
Street parking is plentiful and unreserved. An off-street parking spot in the rear can be rented separately.

Rent and lease
$760/month, security deposit one month's rent ($760). Short fixed initial lease that converts to month-to-month with 60-day tenant notice / 90-day landlord rent-increase notice (per DC Code Section 42-3505.54(b)). Lease executed via eversign.

    "With Rhode Island Ave NE to the south and Catholic University to the north, Edgewood is a quiet family-oriented neighborhood of row houses and friendly neighbors. I've lived here for 9 years and have seen the natural changes of older, long-time residents giving way to a new generation of home owners. We still have a good mix of older folks with young families, single professionals and students. There's a lot of development happening around the Rhode Island Ave. Metro Station, Home Depot and Giant. Chancellor's Row just off 4th Street NE has new townhouses. There are still some rough edges, but the neighborhood is changing every day!"

    "I've lived in Edgewood for a year and half and am glad I moved to the neighborhood. Folks take pride in the community and are friendly and welcoming. There is a very active Edgewood listserv (Yahoo group), plus an Edgewood Civic Association. The first Saturday of each month, I help with a neighborhood cleanup. Many other neighbors come out and help remove litter and keep the area looking nice, then we enjoy a friendly and free hot dog lunch. Proximity to the new Metropolitan Branch Trail for biking and running is a big plus; the trail leads to the Capitol, which is only 2.5 miles south of Edgewood. In terms of transport, the Rhode Island Station development at the Metro station is adding new businesses and residents to this Metro-friendly area, plus there are frequent buses along Rhode Island Avenue. I like living in Edgewood -- close to everything, yet, for now, relatively affordable -- and am definitely sticking around."
