Navy Yard

From a row home built in 1915 to a condo overlooking Nationals Park, the season premiere explores both old and new homes in D.C.’s Navy Yard. Guided by realtor Chris Chambers, hosts John and Christine tour three homes in the Southeast D.C. neighborhood to guess the listing prices of each location and learn about the area’s meaningful history from some of Navy Yard’s long-time residents.

The Navy Yard neighborhood was once home to a vibrant community of immigrants and African Americans. But by the 1980s, many residents had left as the area became a haven for drugs and crime. In recent years, the Arthur Capper/Carrollsburg Housing Project was replaced with a mix of market rate housing, workforce homes, and affordable housing surrounding a brand new community center.

The modern vibe of this 2-bedroom, 2-bath, 950 square foot condo on First St., SE impresses, as does the size and functionality of the kitchen. But what really makes this home pop is the sunken patio, perfect for entertaining before a night out in Navy Yard. As realtor Chris Chambers puts it, "If you're buying down here... you're buying for the lifestyle."

Christine calls this renovated 1915 rowhome on K St, SE "a great combination of old and new" -- a rarity in the Navy Yard neighborhood where most original homes were leveled during the construction boom of the early 2000s. Inside, a quartz waterfall countertop is a statement piece in the kitchen, as are modern finishes in the bathrooms. Outside, the team is blown away by a deck and patio.

As soon as they enter this 7th floor condo overlooking Nationals Park, John and Christine are blown away by the view that overlooks Nationals Park. Inside, the unit is sleek and modern from top to bottom. Lacquer cabinets, a large granite island, and high-end appliances in the kitchen impress -- as does a flexible open concept living space built for entertaining.
