Arboretum Homes for Rent

Arboretum, a small neighborhood in Washington, D.C., is located next to the expansive 440-acre National Arboretum, providing residents with direct access to its botanical features. This area has a suburban feel within the city, with only 65 detached homes featuring spacious yards. Residents enjoy easy access to attractions like the azalea garden, magnolia groves, and the National Bonsai and Penjing Museum. The Capitol Columns and Washington Youth Garden are notable highlights, while nearby Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens continues the green theme. The recently renovated Arboretum Community Center offers amenities such as sports courts, a fitness center, and an amphitheater. Although Arboretum lacks retail stores and restaurants, nearby options include The Shops at Dakota Crossing and entertainment venues like THRōW Social DC and Echostage. Housing styles range from 1930s and ‘40s bungalows to colonial-style homes, with a mix of renters and homeowners. The neighborhood is about a 10-minute drive to Capitol Hill and less than 3 miles from downtown D.C., with public transport options available. The presence of the Fifth District DCPD Police Station provides a sense of security.
