Langdon
Neighborhood in Washington, District of Columbia
District of Columbia 20002, 20018

Homes with yards and porches
Langdon is home to a variety of architecture. Single-family homes include Federal, Queen Anne and Colonial, and as Realtor Davis notes, “Part Langdon’s uniqueness is the prevalence of bungalows with large front porches — there aren’t a lot of those in Washington.” Most homes in Langdon built before 1960 sit on tidy lots with private driveways and well-maintained sidewalks. “Langdon is far enough from the downtown area for homes to have nice yards. And buyers can get more square feet for the dollar in Langdon,” says Davis. Home prices range from around $375,000 for a 1,000-square-foot, 2-bedroom townhouse to more than $1.1 million for a 3,400-square-foot Craftsman with 5 bedrooms and a large yard.Parks for sports and sounds
Langdon Park’s seemingly boundless grounds are a favorite with residents looking to ace it on the tennis courts or kickflip at the skatepark. The outdoor pool and spray station are great places to escape the city’s humid summer months. The 11,500-square-foot dog park is a big win for pet parents and the indoor basketball court attracts its fair share of hoopers. Not to be outdone, the adjacent Chuck Brown Memorial Park may be Langdon’s greatest draw. Dedicated to the Godfather of Go-Go, the space serves as the backdrop for Chuck Brown Day festivities and some of Langdon’s liveliest musical performances. And don’t forget to head over to the nearby U.S. National Arboretum and stroll among the 446 acres of gardens, woodlands and a stunning display of bonsai trees.A world of shopping and dining options
Langdon’s schools stand out
Locals refer to Langdon Elementary as the “pride of Ward 5." The school has a B rating from Niche and a 12-1 student-teacher ratio. From there, students move to McKinley Middle School, which has a C-plus rating and a student-teacher ratio of 11-1. Dunbar Senior High School also has a C rating and a student-teacher ratio of 16-1. The school features a unique scuba diving class that allows students to earn a Professional Association of Diving Instructors’ Open Water certification. Students undergo rigorous training at school before heading to the Florida Keys for the certification test.Something is always happening in Langdon

Whether you want to rage under the lights at Echostage dance club or croon along with your favorite local act at The Public Option brewpub, you can do so and still be close to home. There isn’t a better place to be on Independence Day than Washington, D.C. Walk or Uber down to the U.S. Capitol and National Mall to enjoy a day of parades, concerts and fireworks. August brings the Chuck Brown Day which commemorates the life legacy and music of DC legend. Bring a lawn chair to the Chuck Brown Memorial Park and get ready for an entertainment-filled afternoon.How to get around in Langdon
