UrbanTurf Interview with Tom Faison – Hill East Neighborhood

Housing stock in Hill East, according to real estate agent Tom Faison, is a complete reverse from the fancy Victorians closer to DC’s center. “Builders between 1915 and 1935 delivered homes with a nod to the Craftsman style,” Faison said. “With porches, extra width, and large square roots, Hill East homes offer a lot of elbow room.” Home values in the neighborhood have trended up over the years, often dramatically. In 1991, the first Hill East home Faison sold at Potomac Avenue SE and 13th Street SE went for $89,000. More recently, he sold a property at 15th Street and East Capitol Street SE for $1.4 million.
