Lincoln Heights is a spacious suburban area in east D.C.
In the eastern corner of DC, Lincoln Heights has long served as one of the capital’s central public housing areas. Revitalization efforts are currently underway, and an increasing number of people are turning to this neighborhood to join a longstanding community with its own identity and convenient ties to DC. “In the district, there’s not a lot of land,” says Brian Marzo, real estate agent for Keller Williams Preferred Properties. “A lot of people are getting out of the high-rise buildings and moving to areas like Lincoln Heights for more room to move around and have more of a small community experience close to the city.”
Multi- and single-family homes coexist in Lincoln Heights
The community began with a collection of low-rise apartment buildings, but Craftsman-style bungalows have spread across the area for diversified designs along tree-lined sidewalks. These tight and winding roads also have duplexes and town house properties providing increased square footage and lower price points. New developments continue to bring modernized town houses and apartment buildings to Lincoln Heights under the guidance of DC’s revitalization plans, including the conversion of the historic Stands Theater into a brand-new high-rise apartment complex. Prices in Lincoln Heights range from $250,000 for a duplex unit requiring minor renovations to $600,000 for a fully upgraded bungalow-style build. “It's an easy zip code,” Marzo says. “Lots of new buildings, and you usually get a better price point when you move in early, so it’s up and coming with commutability. Moving here is a functional play.”
Highways, the Metro and recreation spaces are nearby
Lincoln Heights sits only nine miles outside the cultural mecca of DC, so you can reach the city center while avoiding interstate traffic by driving over the Whitney Young Memorial Bridge or hopping on the Capitol Heights metro stop nearby. But Lincoln Heights can provide a day of fun all on its own. Marvin Gaye Park frequently hosts community events and festivals, and people often visit to hike along nature trails and let the kids play on the water-themed playground. The Riverside Center sits next to the park, and community leaders regularly organize programs promoting urban sustainability and cultural celebrations, like their model urban farm and weekly African drum and dance class.
Local public schools get C-minus grades or higher
Kids in Lincoln Heights learn from the District of Columbia Public School district, which keeps your assigned schools close to home. Drew Elementary School sits along Eads Street, and Kelly Miller Middle School is a short commute over to 49th Street. Niche gives both schools a C grade. All roads lead to H.D. Woodson High School right in the heart of the area, a C-minus school from Niche, known for its extensive athletic programs that have created numerous state champions in boys’ football and girls’ basketball, plus popular programs for track, softball and many more specialty sports.
Lincoln Heights is near plenty of grocery stores and restaurants
This neighborhood keeps you close to convenient shopping options that meet most everyday needs. Connect with Martin Luther King Jr. Highway to easily reach Discount Mart or Save a Lot for essentials close to home, and convenience stores like A-1 Grocery and Dollar Plus provide even faster stops. DC might be one of the food capitals of the country, but you can stay in your neighborhood for a tasty meal from local businesses. China Café specializes in Chinese classics from its humble storefront that regularly has a line out the door during lunchtime, and Addie Loves Soul brings soul food favorites to the neighborhood and has filled local stomachs for more than 25 years.
