Park Morton

Transformation continues just five blocks south of the Georgia Avenue-Petworth Metrorail Station. Situated between prominent Georgia Avenue and Park Road, Park Morton and surrounding neighborhoods are growing as part of the District’s New Communities Initiative.

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.

Master Plan

Park View Community Partners and the DC Housing Authority are jointly redeveloping the Park Morton complex and Bruce Monroe Park site into 462 mixed-income residential units over three phases. The development plan includes a public park, apartments (including senior units), and for-sale housing.

Park Morton Redevelopment

  • Park Morton Apartments, Phase I of the Park Morton New Communities Initiative, will deliver a five-story, 142-unit affordable multifamily apartment building in late 2024/early 2025.
  • Plans for future phase(s) include an additional 273 residential units to be built at Irving Street and Georgia Avenue.
