Capitol Hill is a very strong community brimming with long-term local residents. There are coffee shops, restaurants, an open air craft market (weekends), and more -- all an easy stroll away. You won't need a car, and as we don't have a parking space for Unit A we encourage Uber, Metro, and other public transit over street parking. Really - you don't need a car - but if you drive to the city we can help you find long term parking.

FOOD:
Safeway, Trader Joe's, and Harris Teeter supermarkets are 3 and 4 blocks away respectively. A stocked CVS is on the closest corner. Rose's Luxury is currently one of the top US restaurants... and is an 8 minute walk! We love it. On the same street (8th) you'll find plenty of other great choices (Indian, Mexican, Chilean, Greek, steak houses, a beer garden, sports bars, local watering holes, and more). Down the street are the bars frequented by Congressional staff. New hires are the ones showing their ID badges.

The US House and Senate are a 15 min walk, as is the Library of Congress. The East end of the National Mall and the first of many Smithsonian Museums are also walk-able (20 min), or are easily accessible from Metro or any city bus that stops just a half block away.

The Eastern Market metro station (3 blocks) will connect you quickly to any part of the downtown area. By metro, you can be at the Verizon Center (Concerts, Hockey, and Basketball) or the National's Ballpark in about 20 minuets.

A 20 minute walk (passing the historic Marine Barracks) gets you to the Navy Yard area, where you'll find free outdoor concerts on Friday night all summer.

Also not too far (10 minutes by Uber or cab) is the booming H Street Corridor in the northern edge of Capitol Hill in Northeast DC. There are a ton of great bars and restaurants in that area, too.
