This range is a ZIP 20009 statistic shared with Adams Morgan, so those guides show the same numbers rather than a separate reading for each neighborhood.

RentSift weekly 1BR building starting-price snapshot, Aug. 11, 2026, refreshed with each scrape. These are tracked buildings' lowest published listing prices, not average or signed rents, and small samples are labeled as such.

Address reports can include API-backed Walk Score data when the configured service returns it; the access labels on this guide are qualitative.

Covered DC rent-controlled units: 4.1% general cap through Apr. 30, 2027; 2.1% for qualifying elderly/disability tenants.
