Barry Farm

One of four New Communities initiative developments, Barry Farm is a historic neighborhood in southwest Anacostia that will be redeveloped into a mixed-use community. With access to the Anacostia metro station, I-295, and Suitland Parkway, the development aims to provide sustainable, mixed-income housing and retail.
