Lincoln Heights/Richardson Dwelling

Parks + Recreation

Neighborhood attractions include Marvin Gaye Park and its 1.2-mile bike trail, the Greater Deanwood Neighborhood Heritage Trail, the Deanwood Community Center & Library, and the renovated Riverside Center. As part of the New Communities Initiative, Marvin Gaye Park received $10 million in infrastructure improvements.

New Development

With the support of a DC Neighborhood Prosperity Fund grant, the historic Strand Theater (c. 1928) underwent a $38 million redevelopment alongside construction of the new 86-unit Strand Residences. Deanwood Smokehouse will anchor the theater, while the residential building includes retail and incubator space.
The 93-unit Providence Place was completed in 2022 on the Progressive National Baptist Convention’s historic campus at 50th & Fitch Streets.

New Communities Initiative

The New Communities Initiative is a DC government program, managed by the Office of the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development, to revitalize severely distressed subsidized housing, create vibrant mixed-income communities, and assist with addressing residents’ needs.

Comprehensive Community Development Model

The CCDM is a community-led strategy to support neighborhood development in the east end of Ward 7, including Lincoln Heights and Richardson Dwellings, ensuring that new investments are intentional and targeted for current and future residents. The CCDM was led by the Office of Planning in conjunction with the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development and the Coalition for Non-Profit Housing and Economic Development.
