Capitol Hill

Right Next to the Eastern Market and Home to Many Families
A remarkable neighborhood with memorable structures such as the Supreme Court, Union Station and the Bartholdi Fountain. Literature or science lovers can spend a whole day at the Folger Shakespeare Library reading books and watching classical plays, or the US Botanic Garden attending gardening seminars and cooking classes.

The neighborhood is located near the Union station and H street. So you have public transportation and grocery stores close. But it’s not a very diverse environment (for international people).

I feel it’s very expensive and I have roommates. I have a school in front so it’s very loud in the afternoon. (Lots of people at certain hours)

It's an excellent, safe neighborhood with plenty of families. While it's not the most exciting neighborhood in the city, it's within walking distance of plenty of bars and restaurants.

A great neighborhood right in the heart of Capitol Hill. Not much night life or young crowds but incredibly charming and great for dining out or brunch.

I love Capitol Hill. It's close to Eastern Market, easy access to two different Metro stops, and there is great food everywhere!

During the day the area is safe and flocking with people. At night I would be careful walking alone.

Quiet but very nice. Lots of young families. Decent restaurant selection. Not a lot of nightlife (besides 8th St SE which is a slightly older crowd). Generally go to U St / Dupont Circle / Adams Morgan area to go to bars, 20 to 30 minute uber (3-4 slow city miles). Decent metro access (silver, orange, blue, and red) and access to Union Station (Amtrak and buses). Close to National Mall and somewhat close to Nationals Park for baseball games. Commute to McLean HQ building is a 45 minute metro ride from Capitol South on the Silver Line. Driving w/ minimal traffic is 25 mins to office. Driving w/ bad traffic (usually in afternoons) is 1 hour.

Far from school and people who live NW, but gorgeous area, lots of restaurants and bars and young people, right by the Capitol, Library of Congress, and Supreme Court.
