We’ll, your first link is of rowhouses in SE, north of and predating the Yards development. Not part of the Wharf. Your second link is indeed in SW, but not part of the Wharf but rather of the townhouses bound by 7th, G, and 9th St SW. They also predate the Wharf by almost 20 years. No rowhouses and/or townhouses were built as part of the Wharf development. There are a number of townhouses in SW near the Wharf, but the vast majority of them were built in the 1960’s as part of one of the country’s first urban renewal projects.

You better tell that to whoever dropped 1.3 million on it, because the listing says it's part of the wharf! Anything post 2000 is "new" to me.

It's a short walk to the Wharf but certainly not part of the Wharf redevelopment lol. They're expensive because they're gorgeous and huge by DC standards and in between the Mall and the Wharf

Had friends that lived in one 15 years ago. Was nice, way nicer than the average dc row house.

Far from everything at the time, but a good spot now.

For sure. They're like 70 years younger than the stately rowhomes on East Capitol for instance. Having spent a LOT of time in the latter, they're lovely and have great bones but many are in desperate need of complete renovations.
