Close to the Air Force base and Maryland
While Bellevue’s name comes from a 1700s mansion that has since been demolished, the neighborhood is said to have been built in the 1940s for employees of the nearby Bolling Air Force Base. Today, the neighborhood is still defined by its proximity to the base, but also to nearby Maryland and Washington, D.C. “There are some big, beautiful single-family homes that offer panoramic views of the city skyline, which I think is really unique,” says Russell Carter, an agent with Keller Williams Capital Properties.
Bellevue is located next to the Anacostia Freeway, which connects residents to Virginia and Maryland. The Congress Heights metro station is 2 miles north and can be reached by bus from South Capitol Street. United Medical Center is around 2 miles from the neighborhood and offers emergency and surgical care. Bellevue has a CAP index crime score of 8, compared to the national average of 4.
The MLK basketball court is well known at Oxon Run Park in Shipley Terrace.

Affordable homes with investment potential
Bellevue is a residential hub, with neatly laid-out streets of single-family homes, town houses and condominiums along tree-lined sidewalks. “It’s one of the parts of D.C. that’s still affordable for you to purchase a home, and we’ve seen it grow in value over the past few years,” Carter says. “Most of my clients generate $100,000 in equity within 5 years.” A renovated town house or duplex can be purchased for between $450,000 and $500,000, while a condo may sell for between $300,000 and $350,000. Many residents of the Bellevue neighborhood are military personnel who work at the Bolling Air Force Base. “Sometimes they can’t find housing on the base, or they don’t want to live on base, but they have housing options just a few minutes away. That’s one of the best things about Bellevue,” Carter says.
Renovating gable roofed homes is becoming more common in Bellevue.

Multiple parks offer outdoor recreation
To the east, Bellevue is flanked by the 128-acre Oxon Run Park, the largest city park in Washington, D.C. Kids can play on the playground or practice their skills on the baseball diamond, while visitors from all over the area come to see the cherry blossoms in bloom during the spring. On the western side of Bellevue, Fort Greble Park offers a splash pad, community garden, sports courts and walking trails. If the weather precludes residents from taking to the outdoor facilities, they can head to the Bald Eagle Recreation Center, which has a boxing gym and indoor basketball courts.
Bald Eagle Recreation Center is equipped with specialized program areas to support Bellevue.
