1669 Columbia Rd NW

Plaza West is a four-story cooperative constructed in 1910 that blends period character with recent mechanical and common-area upgrades. The masonry building houses a mix of studios, one- and two-bedroom residences arranged around corridors and corner exposures; many units retain high ceilings, bay windows, original wood floors, crown moldings and built-in storage while renovated kitchens and baths feature granite or quartz counters and stainless appliances. Shared features include an elevator, communal laundry, bike room, off-street parking assigned to units, and secured entry; the co-op fee typically covers utilities, real estate taxes and a portion allocated to an underlying blanket mortgage. Recent capital work has modernized building systems—new boiler, chiller and hot water heaters—and a 2022 lobby renovation plus rooftop solar collectors reflect the co-op’s ongoing maintenance program. Located on Quarry Road between Adams Morgan and Mount Pleasant, the property fronts tree-lined sidewalks and street lighting with easy access to multiple bus routes, two Metro lines, Meridian Hill Park, Rock Creek Park and the National Zoo. Pet-friendly policies historically allow cats; unit-specific storage, renovated windows and upgraded HVAC vary by apartment.
