Columbia Heights developed in the early 1900s as an upscale streetcar suburb, later becoming one of DC's most diverse neighborhoods. Located in the 20010 zip code and anchored by the historic Tivoli Theatre — a 1924 movie palace now home to GALA Hispanic Theatre and mixed retail — the neighborhood centers on the 14th Street corridor and the DC USA shopping complex near the Columbia Heights Metro station.
Rebuilt after the 1968 riots devastated many of its storefronts, Columbia Heights has undergone significant revitalization since the early 2000s, blending its historic rowhouses and early-century apartment buildings with new mixed-use development around the Metro.
Columbia Heights' housing stock spans early-1900s rowhouses and large pre-war apartment buildings, many with original mortise locks still in place. We service this hardware carefully, whether it's a single-family rowhouse or a shared apartment building entrance.
The dense 14th Street retail corridor and the DC USA shopping center also drive steady commercial demand — from big-box retail security to rekeying for the neighborhood's many independent restaurants and shops after staff turnover.
Columbia Heights' rowhouses often carry original mortise locks from the early 20th century. We service and upgrade them without damaging historic doors.
Columbia Heights' large pre-war apartment buildings see regular tenant turnover. We recommend rekeying immediately after move-in for any unit in the neighborhood.
