3020 Tilden St NW

A five-story cooperative built in 1928, this Tudor-influenced brick residence is one of the original buildings within the historic Tilden Gardens complex in Northwest Washington, D.C. The 21-unit property retains period details — arched entries, crown moldings, coffered ceilings and original-style radiators — while common areas have been modernized with an elevator and updated building systems. Individual apartments are predominantly two-bedroom layouts (with occasional three-bedroom and one-bedroom homes), featuring high ceilings (about nine feet), hardwood floors, formal dining rooms or separate dining areas, traditionally planned kitchens (many renovated with granite, stainless appliances and islands or peninsulas), and abundant windows that provide multi-directional light and garden views. Exterior grounds are a major asset: residents share access to approximately five acres of landscaped terraces, walkways and planted gardens, plus paved hardscape, exterior lighting, sidewalks and street lights. Onsite conveniences include basement laundry and project space, secure storage and bike storage; garage parking is available to residents subject to the co-op board and often on a rental/waitlist basis. The cooperative permits small pets with board approval (weight limits typically around 30–35 lbs) and maintains a hands-on management structure with regular capital improvements and exterior maintenance. The building’s location offers a strong walkability score with easy access to Cleveland Park and Van Ness Metro stations, nearby groceries, restaurants and Rock Creek Park.
