Around Eckington
The homes here are primarily in the row home style, which is common throughout the city. The streets are nice and quiet, perfect for families looking to start out in an affordable neighborhood. This neighborhood has seen substantial growth over the last few decades, transforming from a largely underused area to a renovated wealth of space for new businesses to move into. Residents here could describe their neighbors as "friendly, but quiet."
Foodies love being just steps away from one of the best kept secrets in D.C., Union Station, which is a treasure trove of local, eclectic eateries and vendors in one large warehouse. There's also delicious old school BBQ joints with limited indoor seating but takeout options available. There are decent options for takeout pizza or ethnic foods, but there is a distinct lack of nicer sit-down restaurants for groups.
In this area, you can expect to see families taking a stroll down the maple-covered streets with tall trees and friends greeting each other at the old fashioned barbershops and hair salons that have become neighborhood establishments. Also look to the ever-popular Metropolitan Branch Trail, an eight-mile stretch that runs up to Silver Spring, Maryland, perfect for running or biking.
Grab a drink at one of the local pubs and sit outside on the patio watching the traffic along North Capitol Street. Walk over to get some BBQ takeout and head home for a relaxing evening, greeting your neighbors as you stroll home after a long week. After dinner, head to the recreation center or one of the local high schools to watch a basketball game between rival teams.
Sleep in nice and late and still make it to one of the neighborhood cafes for some eggs and coffee outside on the porch. Go for a walk or bike ride along the Metropolitan Branch Trail and get in some exercise. Or take advantage of one of the yoga or cycling studios within walking distance. Relax at one of the locally owned nail salons or get a haircut at one of the salons.
