Description

Welcome to Hampshire Gardens. The nine buildings occupy an entire block on 5 acres and surround an oval-shaped common lawn. They are all two stories tall and follow a cross-shaped plan. Decorative elements in the Tudor revival style include half timbering, crenellated towers and entrances trimmed in carved stone. The initial plan was for the complex to have 2,500 units, but the Great Depression brought construction to an end in 1929. The complex was then built as middle-class housing and was an early example of cooperative ownership. Hampshire Gardens was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994. It is also a D.C. Historic Landmark.This 1BR cooperative is lined with original hardwoods. The bright and sunny stature is all thanks to the plethora of windows. High ceilings, in-unit washer dryer (plus another community laundry space in the basement) and good closet space are only a few of the amenities. Fabulous views of the great lawn. Street Parking, but 15 mins to Fort Totten Metro or 15 mins to Petworth/Georgia Ave Metro. The 64 bus will put you on U street in about 15 mins for your dining and entertainment needs. Walk 15 mins to President Lincoln's Cottage! Here President Lincoln made some of his most nation-changing decisions and developed the Emancipation Proclamation. 1.5 miles to Rock Creek Park!
