DC Open House List for This Weekend: April 24, 2026

With 430+ open houses happening throughout the District, buyers have no shortage of options to explore. Warmer weather is settling in, making it an ideal time to get outside, tour neighborhoods, and take in everything the city has to offer. And with Earth Day just behind us, it’s the perfect reminder to appreciate not just the homes themselves, but the communities and green spaces that make DC such a great place to live.

Dear PoPville

“Tattoo Recs?”

By Prince Of Petworth


926 U Street, NW. Now long gone… from the PoPville archives

“Dear PoPville,

I was looking through the archives and it looks like the last tattoo artist rec post is pretty old; can we pop this question up there again? I have an idea formed from a watercolor flower illustration that I’d love to get tattooed, but I have no idea where to start looking for someone who can do fine line/watercolor/super colorful, etc. I’m willing to travel for the right artist, but I’d love to stay in DC or nearby if at all possible.

Thank you for considering posting, and thanks in (far) advance to the PoPulace for any recommendations!”

*my fourth favorite alert.

Thanks to Tom and Bob for sending:

“Julia’s Empanadas which has been coming soon for about a year is finally open on 17th Street. I had a great Chilean beef empanada yesterday. A little pricey at $8.50, but it was a pleasant surprise to have no request for an additional tip!”

Nice!! (more…)
