1160 Owen Pl NE – A Cornerstone of Trinidad’s Urban Renaissance

Nestled in the heart of Washington, DC’s historic Trinidad neighborhood, 1160 Owen Pl NE embodies the dynamic blend of past and present that defines this thriving community. This 2,040 sq ft multi-family property, constructed in 1930, showcases classic early 20th-century DC architecture with its sturdy brick exterior, original hardwood floors, and large, light-filled windows—a testament to the era’s craftsmanship. Strategically positioned in one of the city’s most sought-after areas, it offers versatile layouts (4 beds/4 baths or subdivided units) with untapped potential for modern residential living, rental income, or adaptive reuse—all while preserving its historic character.

Beyond its architectural charm, 1160 Owen Pl NE sits at the center of Trinidad’s revitalization story. Its RF1 zoning and proximity to H Street’s vibrant dining scene, Union Market, and transit hubs make it ideal for mixed-use innovation, whether as updated apartments, a live-work space, or a community-focused rental investment. With recent neighborhood appreciation (values surging from 195,000 in 2004 to195,000 in 2004 to 820,000+ today) and growing demand for urban living, this property is more than a building—it’s a catalyst for equitable growth in a neighborhood where historic row houses meet modern energy.

Key Highlights:

• 1930s Charm: Brick façade, original details, and spacious layouts

• Modern Flexibility: Renovated kitchens/baths (2004), zoning-ready for mixed-use

• Trinidad’s Momentum: Walkable to cafes, parks, and transit in a rapidly evolving area

• Investor Appeal: High rental demand and proven capital appreciation

Just as Hawkinsville’s Commerce Street properties are shaping Central Georgia’s future, 1160 Owen Pl NE offers a parallel opportunity to invest in DC’s urban legacy—where every restored brick builds community vitality.
