Edgewood Home Sales
Here is this week's data on homes for sale in Edgewood. I am using Redfin because it allows you to search by neighborhood, but if you have any other ideas or ways to get listings or open houses please let me know!
Here is the link to the data in Redfin:
Edgewood has a very diverse housing stock with a wide range of sizes and prices. Right now the most expensive places listed are the new homes being built in Chancellor's Row listed at $609,900 while the least expensive listing is a one bedroom condo ready for renovations listed at $100,000. It seems that there continues to be a steady number of houses selling across the price ranges and there are quite a few pending sales that have yet to be posted.
There are new sales posted.
3305 7th Street NE sold on April 5th for $305,000
326 Bryant Street NE sold on April 19th for $270,000
318 Bryant Street NE sold on April 22nd for $155,000
The Chancellor's Row development continues to be a high seller in the neighborhood having sold 44 66 houses at the last count.
Update: August Completion Date for 329 Rhode Island Ave NE
Across Rhode Island Avenue in Eckington there are new timelines for the completion of the condos at 329 Rhode Island Avenue NE.
Eckington Condo Project On Track for Summer Delivery

A renovated condo project in Eckington is on track to deliver 21 units by the end of the summer. UrbanTurf spoke with PERS Development president Ramin Bassam, who said that his company`s project Mint Condominium located at 4th and Rhode Island NE (map) will be ready for move-in by late August, and that sales will likely start a month prior, in July. Sales and marketing will be handled by Urban Pace.
The project is a few blocks west of the Rhode Island Avenue-Brentwood Metro station on the Red Line, where a large mixed-use development with retail and over 250 apartments is currently under construction. Units at Mint will be a mix of one and two-bedrooms with prices ranging from the mid $200s to low $300s.
Eckington residents will likely welcome renovation of the building, which suffered a fire in 2009 and had been designated blight by the city. On the other hand, the condos will be higher end than much of the inventory currently available in the neighborhood, so a successful sell-out could be a harbinger of neighborhood change in years to come.

Creating a Safer Edgewood: Reserve Corps, Neighborhood Watch & Jr. Police Academy
Please see the information from MPD about opportunities for community involvement and helping to keep our neighborhood safer. Recently there have been many on the listservs, myself included, that wanted to know what we could do to help MPD and our neighbors to create a safe environment on all streets at all times. The list below presents some ways that we can get involved beyond the listserv and meetings. I really think we need to start an active neighborhood watch in Edgewood. I am going to try to attend one of the trainings and encourage others to get involved as well.
