From its earliest years as one of DC’s streetcar commercial districts, Anacostia’s downtown continues to flourish with its dynamic small businesses, arts scene, and real estate market. Strategically located between the Navy Yard and St. Elizabeths East & West Campuses, the neighborhood’s corridors are in federal HUB and Opportunity Zones. With excellent access to Metrorail, Capital Bikeshare, I-295, I-395, and the Suitland Parkway, Anacostia is bursting with potential.
