Brookland

Brookland is bookended by the Brookland Arts Walk and Monroe Street Market to the west and its historic 12th Street neighborhood commercial node to the east. This area is well-served by transit options, notably a Red Line Metrorail station, and bisected by the Metropolitan Branch Trail. Further complemented by several universities and medical facilities, the mixture of institutional, retail and residential uses creates a community that is desirable, well-established, and forward-looking.
