Garage Spaces For Sale in the Washington DC Metro Area
With space being so limited in urban areas, is it so surprising to find a real estate marketplace for garage space properties for sale in Washington Metro? It's certainly not a major segment of the local home sale business, although you'll probably find more garages for sale than you will cabins. There's also the matter of garage conversions for residential space although that's its own specialty market, usually having to do with rentals.
Nope, in Washington Metro, garages for sale are exactly as they sound – places to park your car. For the most part, it's a DC-centric thing. If you live in the Alexandria or Arlington suburbs for instance, you'll most likely have a garage that goes with your house or a parking spot in the condo garage or if all else fails, a spot on the street. The downtown DC parking situation is its own byzantine mess however and nightmare stories abound. There's the typical deeded high-rise parking spot that can cost a fortune to the even bigger problem of all those old row houses built a century or more ago. Imagine the nerve of builders at the time – refusing to look into the future and make allowances for the modern-day luxury SUV with chrome spinners and ground-shaking sub-woofers.

There are alternatives to owning your own parking space in the Washington metropolitan area. The number one answer by far and away is the Metro rail, currently the second-busiest rapid transit system in the United States with up to 800,000 trips taken each weekday. The proximity of Metro stations is a major factor when it comes to marketing, buyer and selling a home. There's also a growing number of innovative commuter choices, especially in and around DC's mixed work and live communities. Capital Bikeshare and Zipcar are both popular modes of work-related transportation.
Of course, when it comes down to it, sometimes you just want your own garage. The great challenge of course is mixing and matching – finding a garage that just happens to be close to where you live or work is a little like the proverbial needle in a haystack. Nonetheless, listings do exist in the Washington Metro marketplace, primarily in DC itself but not exclusively so. And a price range? At the current time a garage for sale will run you between $250 per month for a rental to $75,000 to own your very own single-car garage in Glover Park, right behind a Starbucks – what more could you want?
