River Park Mutual Homes
River Park is a housing cooperative, or co-op, community of townhouses and apartments located on 11 park-like acres in the Southwest Waterfront, a residential neighborhood in Southwest Washington, D.C., designed by the renowned Mid-century modern architect Charles M. Goodman.
A housing cooperative, or co-op, is a legal entity, usually a cooperative or corporation, which owns real estate, consisting of one or more residential buildings. The corporation is membership-based, with membership granted by purchasing a share in the cooperative. Each shareholder in the legal entity is granted the right to occupy one housing unit.
Located one block from the Waterfront Metro Station, River Park is close to all the major highways — 395, 295, Route 1, and the George Washington Memorial Parkway, colloquially known as the G.W. Parkway — with easy access to Georgetown and Capitol Hill. River Park is just a short walk to the MarketSW (open from spring to fall), the Southwest DC Community Farmers Market (open from spring to fall), Arena Stage, The Wharf, the Maine Avenue Fish Market, the National Mall, Smithsonian Institution museums, Audi Field (the future home soccer stadium for D.C. United), and Nationals Park (the home baseball park for the Washington Nationals).

Newsroom
River Park in the News
River Park has been recognized for being the most unique example of Mid-century modern architectural design in Washington, D.C., due, in large part, to its barrel roofs and aluminum grills.Building of the Week: River Park
July 17, 2017
Washington is home to myriad mid-century residential buildings by nationally known architects. The most unique among these is the River Park development, located on 4th Street SW between N and O Streets. Its aluminum details and barrel-roofed townhouses stand out in a sea of concrete and brick boxes.

Although Nina Dunham was born in the “Mad Men” era, she had never gravitated toward mid-century modern design. But when she walked into an airy 1960s lobby in Southwest Washington’s River Park, with its floor-to-ceiling windows, bright-blue tiles and low-slung Knoll furniture, she felt at home.

In 50 years, River Park in Southwest D.C. has gone from ahead of its time to oddly old-fashioned to, at least in the eyes of some, cool again.

The barrel-roof townhouses of River Park are Campbell’s soup cans, halved the long way, balanced on top of metal cubes two blocks from Southwest Washington’s Waterfront Metro station. They are called “houses” — because people live in them, and really, what else could they be called? — but they are architectural punch lines, visual acid trips, the left-behind parts of the secret UFO that docked down by the waterfront half a century ago and then flew away before anyone caught it on camera.
