The Porter Cooperative is a 1928-built, low-rise cooperative in Cleveland Park that contains roughly 28 units across multiple stories with elevator access. Architecturally rooted in 1920s Spanish-inspired detailing, the building retains period character: hardwood floors, crown moldings, built-ins, high ceilings and occasional exposed brick in select apartments. Units are primarily one-bedroom and studio layouts with a mix of open and traditional floor plans; many homes feature eat-in or gourmet kitchens, pantry and upgraded countertops along with generous built-in storage and tailored closet systems. Common areas include a welcoming lobby, secure entry with intercom, a landscaped garden courtyard, community laundry, bike storage/room, private storage lockers in the lower level and a garden room used by residents. Building maintenance covers many utilities through monthly co-op fees, which typically include property taxes, water, sewer, heat, hot water and gas; owners generally pay electric. The coop is cat-friendly and offers optional nearby parking spaces for purchase. Located a short walk from the Cleveland Park Metro Red Line, the property sits amid retail, grocery options and green space including Rock Creek Park and the National Zoo, supporting an urban-but-leafy neighborhood lifestyle.
