Georgia Avenue/Brightwood

Conveniently located along Georgia Avenue between Shepherd Park and Petworth, this neighborhood of rowhouses and Art Deco-inspired dwellings sits alongside Rock Creek Park. Brightwood is also home to Fort Stevens, the site of the only Civil War battle to take place within DC proper. The bustling intersection of Missouri and Georgia Avenues offers a range of local dining choices with ever-expanding options.

Neighborhood Grocery Stores

The commercial area is anchored by a Safeway (52,000 SF) and Walmart (103,000 SF).

Fort Stevens

The only Civil War battle fought in the District of Columbia occurred at Fort Stevens. It was part of a more extensive system of 68 fortifications in and around DC.
