Randle Highlands is experiencing growth in the D.C area

With a rich tradition, new amenities and great investment potential, it’s clear why Randle Highlands is a booming neighborhood in southeast D.C. “There’s tons of development happening in the area, which could lead to a great investment opportunity if purchasing,” says Evan Marbury of Compass Realty. “It’s a great time to get in because, at least for now, you can get more home for less money compared to the rest of D.C.” Randle Highlands is just two miles west of the Skyland Town Center, which features locally owned restaurants as well as national chains, and two miles east of the Bridge District offering high-end retail and dining options. “A lot of the people were born and raised in this area, and they are proud of the changes and development in the community.”
