1705 Lanier Pl NW

A low-rise, garden-style cooperative built in 1925, 1705 Lanier Place NW is a four-story Tudor Revival block of roughly 30 units that occupies a tree-lined Lanier Heights street near Rock Creek Park. The exterior displays traditional masonry, slate and copper roof elements (roof replaced in 2024) and layered terraced plantings that frame a central manicured courtyard and hardscaped paths. Apartment layouts skew toward one- and two-bedroom floor plans with tall ceilings, oversized Pella windows, hardwood floors, crown moldings, built-in storage and period details; many units have open or traditional floor plans with eat-in or galley kitchens and renovated primary baths. Common building systems and comforts include a recently renewed roof, a cooperative ownership structure with a Master (underlying) mortgage in place for some units, professional property management, on-site laundry, secure bicycle storage, a residents’ workshop, and individualized additional storage spaces for each unit. Services covered by the recurring co-op fee commonly include heat, water, gas, sewer, trash removal, building maintenance, landscaping, snow removal, master insurance and reserves; parking is available via a limited wait-list for a garage, and the pet policy is generally pet friendly. The setting emphasizes a parkside lifestyle — the building sits blocks from Rock Creek Park, the National Zoo and neighborhood dog run, and is within short walking distance of Adams Morgan and Columbia Heights transit, restaurants, groceries and neighborhood amenities.
