Deanwood

Historically an entertainment hub for African-American neighborhoods, this community is highly regarded for its collection of homes designed by Black architects H.D. Woodson and Lewis Giles, Sr. With new development on the horizon, Deanwood is expecting residential deliveries as well as new retail, office, and civic spaces.

New Residential Development

  • The Strand Residences delivered in 2022 adjacent to the historic Strand Theater and feature 86 affordable residential units. The historic theater was transformed into a new restaurant, The Strand.
  • Providence Place, a new 93-unit affordable housing development located at 50th & Fitch Streets, opened in 2022.
  • 11Hundred Apartments, located at 1100 Eastern Avenue NE, opened in 2021 and is a mixed-use multi-family residential building with 63 affordable residential units and 3,600 SF of ground floor retail space.
  • R. Crawford Gardens (737 50th St., NE) will be a six-story, 76-unit affordable residential building. The project is scheduled to deliver in late 2024/early 2025.

New Restaurants

  • The 150-seat The Strand (5131 Nannie Helen Burroughs Ave., NE), by Fish & Fire Group (Ivy City Smokehouse, The Point), opened in late 2024 in the historic Strand Theater.
  • The Deanwood Deli (4505 Sheriff Road, NE) opened in June 2023.
