Fairlawn is a growing D.C. community south of the Anacostia River
In a world where location is key, you can’t beat Fairlawn. On the eastern banks of the Anacostia River, Fairlawn is in the southeast quadrant of D.C., and in the heart of a rapidly changing area. The neighborhood sits squarely in the Bridge District, a 2.6 million-square-foot project that will bring retail and restaurants that partner with local businesses to celebrate D.C.’s rich history. “The goal has always been to connect both sides of the river,” says District of Columbia Council Communications Director Julia Jesse. “It’s overdue and going to bring so much value to the southeast side of town.” With direct access to Anacostia Park and the Washington Nationals stadium, it’s clear Fairlawn is the place to be.

A market with condos, rowhouses and multifamily options
The types of homes in Fairlawn range from two-bedroom condo units priced around $260,000 and ranch-style single-family homes just under $400,000. The neighborhood also features multi-story rowhouses and fully detached brick Colonials in the ballpark of $570,000. Multifamily properties are available for about $900,000. Many of the houses feature small, fenced-in yards and mature leafy trees provide shade to those walking along the wide and flat sidewalks. Parking on the narrow streets will remind you that you are in the big city, but there is plenty of green space for pets to run around.

Anacostia High offers internship opportunities for students
Children in Fairlawn begin at Boone Elementary as part of the District of Columbia Public School System. A PK3 school, Boone offers pre-kindergarten programs to children aged three and older, “not having to worry about daycare takes a lot of weight off new parents in the area,” says Jessie. Students move on to Kramer Middle School, which offers smaller class sizes and mentorship programs before heading to Anacostia High. AHS provides paid and unpaid internship opportunities, as well as college and career counseling.

Folks enjoy Anacostia Park and Anacostia Recreation Center
Right on the western edge of the neighborhood lies the giant 1,200-acre Anacostia Park. With plenty to explore on land and water, the park is a hot spot for locals all year long. One of the most popular attractions is the Pirate Ship Playground where kids can climb and swing from pirate-themed equipment. Stroll down the waterfront walkway or roll over to the roller-skating pavilion where you can rent a pair of skates and grove to the sounds of a local DJ. For those who prefer to take to the water, the park provides ramps for boats and piers for fishing. The nearby Anacostia Recreation Center offers an outdoor pool, as well as basketball and tennis courts. Locals also love to cross the Anacostia and take in a ballgame as Nationals Park is just two miles away.
