The next time you fly into Washington's Reagan National Airport, look to your left as the plane comes in for a landing.  There you will see the Watergate, a complex that includes a hotel, office building and coop apartments.

It was built in the late 1960's, and has been home to many members of Congress, diplomats, cabinet secretaries, and an infamous White House intern.

The apartments are spacious and most of the 600 units have large balconies.  They also have spectacular views, usually of either the Potomac River or the Washington Monument.  

If you are a music lover, you can walk over the the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and hear the National Symphony, or enjoy a night at the Opera or ballet.

For the convenience of the residents, there is a retail level in the basement with a Safeway, liquor store, bakery and a drug store.

When touring apartments in the Watergate, you never know what you will find.  There are still a few units with original kitchens and baths, but most have been updated to some degree   Many have had walls added or removed, and some units have been combined to form huge spaces.

There are currently 36 units listed for sale on MRIS.
