Residential village beside The People's House
Visitors to Washington, D.C. can open a tourism guide and be inundated with Capitol Hill’s attractions: the Folger Shakespeare Library, the Library of Congress, the U.S. Botanic Gardens and, of course, the 19th-century Neoclassical dome of the United States Capitol Building itself. But the neighborhood is more than just tourist attractions. Outside of the area immediately surrounding the U.S. Capitol and the National Mall, it’s residential and comparatively quiet. Rowhomes line one-way streets, and a mature tree canopy shades streets named after states, numbers and letters. “It’s only 10 blocks or less from the National Mall, but because it’s so residential, it serves as a village within the city,” says Joel Nelson, leading neighborhood Realtor with KW Capitol Properties, who has lived in Capitol Hill for 25 years. “The neighborhood is largely unaffected by the tourist destinations of the mall, the Capitol Building, and museums or protests.”
The Capitol is the seat of government for the United States and Capitol Hill's namesake.

Domestic tranquility
Capitol Hill, part of Pierre L’Enfant’s original 1790 design for Washington, D.C., is one of the city’s oldest neighborhoods. Gridded streets and diagonal avenues intersect, creating small open spaces for parks. Some roads are laid with cobblestone; some sidewalks are laid with brick. Established initially as a boarding house community for members of Congress, it’s now the largest residential historic neighborhood in the nation’s capitol. 1800s and 1900s rowhomes in styles ranging from Federal to Italianate to Queen Anne are updated with modern kitchens and bathrooms. These properties typically cost $1 to $3 million. There are also studio apartments and condo options available, and they usually run in the $400,000 to $1 million range, depending on property size, condition and age.
Some row homes in Capitol Hill feature small fenced-in gardens.
Brick Victorian row homes are common in the Capitol Hill neighborhood.

Capitol eats
“It’s easy to get to things that are tourist attractions, but tourists don’t proceed through the neighborhood,” Nelson says. “We have access to first-class restaurants because tourists help them thrive, but it doesn’t feel like a commercial district. It’s like a small town in the city.” Here on the Hill, residents are within walking distance of D.C. staples, like Eastern Market. This indoor public market offers a variety of fresh produce, artisan goods and local crafts, serving as a vibrant hub for the community. On Tuesdays and weekends, the market opens up for Farmers Line, selling produce grown in rural areas on the East Coast. Nearby Trader Joe’s and Safeway give residents options when grocery shopping. Capitol Hill is widely considered a foodie haven, with an eclectic assortment of restaurants. Early risers grab breakfast from The Hill Café, while twenty-somethings head to Union Pub, click glasses during happy hour, and watch the game. Belga Café, modeled after an authentic Belgian eatery, serves thick Belgian waffles as well as mussels and fries. And Pineapples and Pearls, a reservation-only restaurant run by famous chef and restauranteur Aaron Silverman, is a popular spot for fine dining.
Eastern Market in Capitol Hill is full of food vendors and even a restaurant.
The Salmon Waffle is one of Belgia Cafe's most popular menu items in Capitol Hill.

Intersecting avenues and pocket parks
“It’s a destination neighborhood for people with children,” Nelson says. “We have five large city square parks… and you see tons and tons of kids, from toddlers to teenagers.” As per Pierre L’Enfant’s city design, the neighborhood’s gridded streets and diagonal avenues create squares and irregular shapes that form parks. These grassy spaces, like Lincoln Park and Stanton Park, are great places for passive or active recreation and usually feature statues of prominent American figures in the center. At Garfield Park, teens hit the skatepark, kids run around the playground and friends challenge each other to games of tennis or volleyball. Nelson says, “Capitol Hill is dense while being green.”
The Ulysses S. Grant Memorial in Capitol Hill is dedicated to the 18th president.
Lincoln Park in Capitol Hill is a great spot to relax and enjoy the space.

Getting around Capitol Hill
“There’s a common perception that everyone who lives in the area works for Congress or the Federal Government, but that’s just not the case,” Nelson says. “Over the past 25 years, the economy has diversified with people from all aspects of the law, technology and more. You’ll be neighbors with people who are experts in a fantastically wide array of subjects.” Commuters to Northern Virginia or Maryland can use U.S. Interstate 695. Nelson says, “From some parts of the city, the commute is sticky. But from Capitol Hill, it’s very easy and quick to travel using the 695 throughway.” The neighborhood is highly walkable and bikeable, and three Metro stops are within walking distance. And when it’s time to fly, the Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport is about 5 miles southeast.
Residents of Capitol Hill have easy access to the Eastern Market Metro.

Fourth of July in the nation's capitol
Nearly 700,000 Americans celebrate the nation’s birthday on the West Lawn of the Capitol, watching PBS’s “A Capitol Fourth” concert series before fireworks blaze red, white and blue over the building’s dome. Being so close to the seat of government means that numerous political advocacy marches occur in the neighborhood, particularly in the area surrounding the Capitol building; however, residential streets are largely unaffected by them.
