Hello, D.C. We made it through February! So this winter(ish) season, we’re here with some tips on avoiding parking tickets, cozy weekend spots to visit, and what’s next for D.C.’s housing. This House + Home newsletter is presented by our partners at Urban Pace, the mid-Atlantic’s No. 1 development real estate services firm. Read on for a peek into new homes in Capitol Hill, coming this spring. Let's dive in!

Construction in Washington, D.C., has exploded, but we’re still in a big housing shortage. And, D.C. has built mostly in just a few neighborhoods, why? George Washington University’s Leah Brooks studies this for a living, and she shares some fascinating finds on the future of D.C. housing.  [City Cast DC 🎧]

Eastern Market is one of the oldest historic buildings in D.C., but its offerings are as fresh as it gets. From delicious coffee at 7th Street Hill Cafe to flavorful eats like Paik Produce, Eastern Market Grocery, and Canales Deli, you really can’t go wrong. After you’re full, wander around to some favorite local shops. Sounds like a perfect Sunday to me!  [Hey DC 💻]

One of the worst ways to start a day (or end it) is with a parking ticket. And if you drive in D.C., chances are you’ve had a parking-ticket-induced bad day. We’ve compiled some obvious (and not so obvious) reminders to hack DC parking. [Hey DC 💻]

City Cast CEO David Plotz sat down with Jennifer Felix, Vice President at Urban Pace, the Mid-Atlantic's leader in new home construction for sales and marketing. Jennifer shares with us what’s happening at Ebenezer Row, a new development of homes on Capitol Hill.

“It's a wonderful story. It's actually right next to the Ebenezer United Methodist Church, which was founded in 1838, and it was one of the first African American congregations in the District and actually was part of the Underground Railroad.” 

“The property is going to offer a total of eight condominiums, which are actually in four buildings. Each residence is two levels, and each residence is going to offer you a two bedroom, two-and-a-half bathroom. These are around 1,300 interior square feet, so that's fantastic.”

“Because they're two-level condos, you feel like you have your own little small house. The main floor is going to offer you a powder room, which is very nice. We have wide plank oak flooring. It's going to be a little bit more of a matte sheen to it, so that's a bit more unique. Bathrooms are large. We also are very generous in our closet size, which is hard to find in Capitol Hill.”

Live surrounded by parks on all sides, minutes from Eastern Market and Barracks Row, and a short distance to Navy Yard. Leaving the city? The Beltway, 295, and 695 are super close. And if you’re a frequent flyer (for fun or business), you can be at DCA in about 10 minutes. Ebenezer Row offers meticulously finished two-bedroom two-and-a-half bath condominiums, and a five bedroom four-and-a-half bath townhome. Private parking and outdoor space available. Offered from $875,000.
