This Forest Hills location is just steps from the Van Ness subway, trails of Rock Creek Park, grocery, eateries and shops -- a green and vibrant place to live.

The apartment's gleaming wood floors were recently sanded and refinished and the unit is open, distinctly quiet, and light-filled. The building has instituted renewable-energy improvements, including modern solar voltaic panels installed on the roof. All utilities, parking, many amenities and a storage unit included in condo fee. Soapstone Valley Trail now open for the first time since March 2022, given the conclusion of a rehabilitation project.
