Labor Day weekend means a lighter-than-usual open house schedule across DC, but there are still plenty of worthwhile stops for buyers looking to get a jump on the fall market. From income-producing rowhomes in Columbia Heights and Capitol Hill to new construction and luxury properties in some of the District’s most sought-after neighborhoods, this quieter holiday weekend could be an opportunity to house hunt with a little less competition. Once Labor Day is in the rearview mirror, expect more buyers to return to the market—so getting out this weekend could mean seeing your next home before you’re fighting the post-summer crowds for it.

Set in the heart of Capitol Hill, just one block from Lincoln Park and four blocks from Eastern Market, this exceptional new-construction residence delivers a level of space, privacy, and flexibility that is extraordinarily difficult to find in the neighborhood.”
