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,
I was among several individuals who witnessed a hit-and-run property incident at 17th & S NW earlier today (Friday) and had a very disappointing interaction with the MPD.
Around 2:45pm, a black vehicle in motion collided with a parked car on 17th St NW, causing a loud crunching noise that attracted the attention of many people nearby. At least 4-5 people witnessed the collision itself or its direct aftermath. The speed, sound, and blatant nature of someone smashing into a stationary object seemed to suggest that the driver might be impaired or otherwise distracted.
The impact caused significant damage to the parked car. The driver, after a brief pause, decided to drive away from the scene down an adjacent alley.
Several of us onlookers gathered to discuss what had just happened. At least one had written down the license plate number. Another started writing a note to leave on the damaged car for the owner.
Within a mere minute or two of the incident, an MPD cruiser passed by on S Street with two officers inside. I thought, “What luck!” I waved it down to stop and went to talk to the officers to explain what had happened.
I was shocked by the response. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
A friend was walking from his home in Logan Circle this morning at around 7:30 am. He was on the North side on Vermont walking toward the circle when he was hit by a vehicle. He flipped over the hood of the car and was thrown to the ground. The car (driver) that hit him did not stop. (more…)
