The Keys to the City: The D.C. Housing Market Takes Off, Bolstering the Economy in the Nation's Capital

"...Southeast D.C., perhaps best known for its physical separation from the rest of the city, is rapidly evolving as a prime location for new construction.  Banneker Ridge, a development of 27 single-family detached homes...sits on the site of a vacant and abandoned apartment complex.  The project, in part financed by Bank of America and without any government subsidies, is the first housing of this type constructed in the neighborhood in more than 30 years.  The project features three different housing models designed to fit many lifestyles and budgets. ...The homes of this new community, developed by the Marshall Heights Community Organization in collaboration with its partner CIH Homes, have all been sold. ...As a result of Banneker Ridge's success, the development partnership is embarking on a similar project comprising single-family homes, Hill Top Terrace, which is in the final planning stages."
