Burleith homes are desirable for three primary reasons: proximity to Georgetown, relatively large property lots, and a “village in the city” feeling. The steady increase in sales prices that began a few years ago continues to push home values higher while inventory remains low.

Developers are active in the neighborhood, purchasing and expanding, with houses with third-floor pop-ups selling in the $2.5M to $3.5M range. However, there are still opportunities to buy into Burleith in the $1.3M to $2M range.  Properties in the $800Ks to $1.2Ms are usually picked up very quickly by developers. Astute buyers can purchase properties in the $1.2M to $1.3Ms with plans to renovate and expand in the future. Significant growth has occurred in Burleith’s luxury market with properties expanded in the rear and with high-end renovations selling in the $2M to $3M range. Burleith’s active luxury market caused the neighborhood’s average sales price to exceed $2.05M in 2025. Burleith is now rated #3 in DC neighborhoods where median home price exceeds $1 million according to Urban Turf.
