Whether you fancy yourself noshing on Eastern Euro cuisine in LeDroit or going to town on Ethiopian food in Shaw, this place has seen its cachet soar in the last few years. With news from PoP and beyond of the next great opening in the nabe, builders are following suit and opening up boutique buildings and major developments on 7th and 9th Streets. Plus, with the refurb of the Howard Theater providing a focal point for the community, it's no wonder the hipsters and families are flocking east to snatch up any bit of real estate is left. Most of these listings are in Shaw, but LeDroit does have a jewel or two ready to be taken.

Mapping The 10 Least Expensive Homes In Shaw/LeDroit Park

1. $275,000
Washington, DC 20001
Here's a public auction on April 18 at 1:30pm for a listing that's "in poor condition and is in need of complete rehab". So no, this one is not turn-key ready.
2. $304,000
Washington, DC 20001
For those looking for another investment opportunity, this short sale may do the trick. The two bedroom unit is in the thick of all the development action in the nabe.
3. $319,950
Washington, DC 20001
A one bedroom condo is nothing to sneeze at, especially when it comes with a decorative fireplace and is a "great place to live".
4. $364,900
Washington, DC 20001
A charming home on one of Shaw's most charming streets. Richardson Place is a half block street tucked between Florida and R. There's no possibility of through traffic, so you know this two bedroom abode should be quiet.
5. $374,900
Washington, DC 20001
14th Street is so over. It's all about up-and-coming 9th Street. A "cookie cutter condo" this ain't. The one bedroom unit is in a boutique building with several green perks, including green-grid roof and efficient appliances.
6. $389,650
Washington, DC 20001
Got your chips ready? For the betting type, this is a two bedroom unit in a "blue chip location". With a yard that's packed with potential, this unit is for those who want to go all in.
7. $420,000
Washington, DC 20001
The interior of this one bedroom may be a bit dark, but this condo at the Whitman is located next to many of the city's newest developments. For those willing to stick out the sounds of construction, this condo is sure to please. But HOAs are nearly $500 per month.
8. $425,000
Washington, DC 20001
Super cute though super uninformative. Located on a one-block street, the pics don't provide any details as to what is actually on the market. But this vacant lot is enticing. Sort of.
9. $490,000
Washington, DC 20001
Two bedrooms, two baths, and more than 1,000 sq.ft. On a short one-block street. All for less than half a million. What's the catch? Let us know when you find out.
10. $574,900
Washington, DC 20001
This is a two for one deal. Two units are on the market, so live in one and use the other as a source of rental income. Cha-ching.
