Quiet streets in a fun-filled neighborhood

Located in Washington, D.C.’s 5th Ward, Langdon strikes a balance between suburban living and an upbeat, musical nightlife. “This neighborhood is a mix of people who are looking for a quieter, more residential neighborhood. Langdon feels more like a suburb than an urban neighborhood,” says Summer Davis, a Realtor with Keller Williams Capital Property with extensive real estate experience in the Washington, D.C. market. Just 3 miles from the U.S. Capitol and National Mall, this urban community is well removed from the crowds of tourists roaming the city. Langdon’s tree-lined streets and comfortable homes continue to attract young families and singles looking for a quiet lifestyle while still being close to big-city amenities, parks and nightlife.

Many restaurants in the Langdon neighborhood offer outdoor seating during the warmer months.

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.

Homes in the Langdon neighborhood are often perched on small hills away from the sidewalk.

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.

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.
