Location
•
Founded in 1873, historic LeDroit Park is one of DC's most charming neighborhoods. This downtown neighborhood is considered one of the city's first suburbs -- it is located outside of the city's original boundaries. Today, residents of LeDroit Park can easily walk or bike the few blocks to downtown. LeDroit Park is located just south of Howard University and it contains the Howard University College of Medicine and Howard University Hospital.
The LeDroit Park Historic District features homes built in the 1870s, most by James McGill. The neighborhood is part of DC's new Heritage Trail, a walking tour that explores the area's long history. Much of LeDroit Park's appeal is its ideal location: it is within walking distance to the Shaw-Howard University Metro station, it is close to the nightlife and music halls of U Street and the restaurants of next door Bloomingdale, and it contains a variety of shops and restaurants within the neighborhood.
