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.

Anyone happen to see how it’s looking this morning?

“PSA in case others were unaware… One way traffic on Ontario”

By Prince Of Petworth

“Dear PoPville,

Not sure how long this change has been in effect but I’ve seen at least two drivers who didn’t know that Ontario Rd NW in Adams Morgan switched to one way. Big clue for those folks must’ve the missing traffic light signal facing that direction as they waited – and waited – to make a left turn onto Columbia, but by that point they were committed.”

“Half Pipe for Rollerskaters?”

By Prince Of Petworth

“Dear PoPville,

I’m a park roller skater and I moved into the city about a year and a half ago. I was in Arlington for a while and had access to many more parks and while I love Shaw Skate park all I really want is a half pipe to practice tricks on. I’ve talked to quite a few rollerskaters in the area and none of us have seen one. If anyone in DC has a secret half pipe in their yard or knows of one anywhere please let me know! I’d be happy to help with maintenance costs or otherwise pitch in to have one to use regularly!”

Ed. Note: “Did you know there is a National Park in DC with roller skating? Now you do.”
