Kingman Park Houses for Sale

Kingman Park, a historically Black neighborhood in Washington D.C., is situated along the Anacostia River and east of the Capitol Building. Developed in 1927, the area features modest two-story brick row houses, Craftsman, and Colonial-style homes, many with front yards, porches, and basements. The neighborhood's historic status, granted in 2017, helps preserve its architectural integrity, including regulations on rooftop additions. Kingman Park has a diverse community with many generational Black homeowners. The neighborhood offers various attractions, such as the Rosedale Recreation Center, which includes an outdoor pool, boxing room, indoor basketball courts, and a playground. Kingman and Heritage Islands provide opportunities for boating and hiking, although swimming in the Anacostia River is prohibited due to occasional high levels of bacteria. The defunct Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium, set for demolition in 2024, still hosts events like the D.C. Open Air Farmers Market and music festivals. Langston Golf Course, north of Kingman Park, is notable for being the first golf club open to African Americans in D.C. Dining options include Capitol Square Bar and Grill, with brunch and Caribbean dishes, and nearby H Street Corridor, known for its trendy bars and international cuisine. The neighborhood is served by the Stadium-Armory Station on the Silver, Orange, and Blue lines, providing access to downtown D.C. and beyond. Kingman Park is less than 2 miles east of the National Mall, 7 miles from Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, and 5 miles from MedStar Washington Hospital Center. Crime rates in Kingman Park are on par with the national average.
