Artsy neighborhood gets new life – and brings back the streetcar
The Atlas District, also known as the H Street Corridor, is an artistic area that’s undergone recent revitalization efforts. Over the last 30 years, H Street NE has attracted a slew of new bars and restaurants, quickly becoming a nightlife hotspot for D.C. While the neighborhood – like many others in the district – was hit hard by arson and property damage during the 1968 riots sparked by the assassination of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr, in recent years it has attracted new interest and investment, buoyed by its location near Union Station and the introduction of the city’s first operating streetcars in decades. Murals line alleys on H Street – known as The Allery – and the annual H Street Festival shuts down 10 blocks, showcasing local musicians and businesses. Named for the restored Atlas Performing Arts Center, the neighborhood has become a hub for all things creative and entertaining. “H Street’s rebirth has excited D.C. for many years,” says Kimberly Diggs, associate broker with Douglas Elliman and longtime D.C. resident. “It has become a hip neighborhood that people seek out for eating or going out.”

The Atlas Performing Arts Center
The Atlas Performing Arts Center is the neighborhood’s cornerstone. This art deco building first opened in 1938 as a movie house. After the 1968 riots following the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., the theatre was destroyed. Its sign and façade remained, but inside, the building was vacant. After renovations, it reopened in 2006 as a performing arts venue and has since brought new life into the community. The venue has four performance spaces, hosting music, theatre and comedy shows and runs a City at Peace youth development program. Atlas also hosts an annual winter arts festival, Intersections, that brings nearly 300 artists and performers from different cultures and disciplines together, attracting thousands of visitors each year.

What’s happening on H Street
On H Street, a streetcar passes local shops and eclectic restaurants that give the neighborhood its gritty yet alluring reputation. Vibrant nightlife, live music venues and corner coffee shops populate this street – along with some D.C. dining favorites. “It’s a go-to spot if you’re a foodie like me,” Diggs says. Little Miss Whiskeys, a casual bar that takes reservations for its private rooms, boasts an interior bathed with black lights. The Pug, a back-to-basics bar known for its beer-can-decorated holiday tree, also serves brunch on the weekends. Next door, the ramen restaurant Toki Underground serves rice and noodle bowls, sake, and special recipe cocktails. There’s also Ben’s Chili Bowl – the independently owned chili dog and half-smoke eatery that is a D.C. institution – on H Street. For a shift in cuisine and culture, Stable Restaurant brings a taste of Switzerland to the nation’s capital with a menu that includes Swiss cheese fondue, veal and pork loin, and truffles and schnaps. Locals can also grocery shop at Whole Foods or Giant Food Store.

The H Street Festival and Farmers Market
In the fall, the community gathers for the H Street Festival. Each year, nearly a thousand people wander the 10 blocks of art exhibits, food trucks and craft vendors while live music floats through the air. “It showcases a lot of local businesses,” Diggs explains. From April to December, art displays are traded for local produce, dairy products, pastries and flowers at the H Street Farmers Market, which Diggs says “is really popular with folks from surrounding neighborhoods as well.”
Revitalized rowhomes and modern condos
As aspiring artists and commercial developers sought to breathe new life into the Atlas District in the 1990s, many of its Victorian and Federal-style rowhouses, easily identified by floor-to-ceiling windows, English basements and wrought iron exterior banisters, drew heightened interest. Some houses underwent renovations; a few even had face-lifts that put a modern façade on early 20th-century frames. The addition of contemporary condos and apartment buildings brought the 21st-century mixed-use concept to the area, combining multiunit residential buildings with ground-floor retail space. Potential homebuyers can find properties here for between $800,000 and $1.8 million.

The two-story Sherwood Recreation Center sits on 10th Street. Inside is a gym and a game room, while outside are basketball and tennis courts, a track and a community garden. The rec center’s playground includes multiple play areas for kids of all ages, including musical instruments and an interactive sundial. The neighborhood’s Northeast Branch Library opened in 1932 and has served the community ever since. Inside this Georgian-style building, locals browse bookshelves before heading to the outdoor garden to read.

Getting around the Atlas District
The free D.C. Streetcar runs from Union Station to Benning Road along H Street, passing through the Atlas District. “It’s the first corridor in D.C. where they’ve explored bringing the streetcar back,” Diggs explains. “It’s been really successful and gives the area a lot of charm.” The neighborhood is also right next to Union Station. From this iconic Beaux Arts building, locals can catch a ride on various rail lines, including the Metro, Amtrak and the Virginia Railway Express. The X2 Metrobus runs through the neighborhood and leads throughout the city, and the Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport is about 6 miles southwest.
Public transportation is readily available all through the Altas District Neighborhood.
