A terrific neighborhood on DC's northeast side

Walkable Mass Transit Metro Bicycle-Friendly Urban Downtown Parks River

Brick-faced apartment buildings and one- and two-family houses provide rental options in the Washington, D.C. neighborhood of Lincoln Heights. This historic neighborhood in the northeast section of the nation's capital enjoys nearby access to RFK Stadium and the Anacostia Waterfront, and it sits about four miles east of the heart of D.C.

Meet up with your neighbors on the running trails and playgrounds of Marvin Gaye Park. The Evans Recreation Center provides a hub for locals who want to take advantage of the weight room and exercise classes, and the center also hosts neighborhood meetings. While most of the local favorite restaurants sit on the other side of the Anacostia River, you can enjoy a great evening when you pick up a pizza at Pizza Movers.
