Welcome to Eckington, Washington DC

Eckington sits just northeast of downtown DC and offers a mix of old charm and fresh energy. With tree-lined streets, classic rowhouses, and a growing creative spirit, this neighborhood is quickly gaining attention.

Historic Roots with New Life

Eckington began as one of DC’s first streetcar suburbs in the late 1800s. The homes here reflect that history. Rows of Victorian and early 20th-century townhouses give the streets a timeless feel. Many of these homes have front porches and original details that help preserve the neighborhood’s character. New condos and apartments have joined in recent years, bringing modern design to the mix. This blend of old and new creates a balanced look and lifestyle. You’ll find longtime residents living alongside professionals and creatives who want space, style, and a close-knit community.

A Connected and Walkable Lifestyle

Eckington makes getting around easy. The NoMa-Gallaudet Metro station on the Red Line sits just a short walk or bike ride away. The Metropolitan Branch Trail runs through the area and links the neighborhood to downtown. Bike lanes and frequent bus service keep it well connected.

The area around NoMa and Bloomingdale adds even more to daily life. Coffee shops, breweries, markets, and restaurants are close by. Union Market and Bryant Street NE offer dining, entertainment, and places to gather. These nearby neighborhoods—along with Brookland and Shaw—extend the energy while keeping Eckington’s pace comfortable.

A Growing Sense of Community

Eckington values green space and connection. Alethia Tanner Park, just on the edge of the neighborhood, offers wide lawns, a dog park, and spots to relax. Small parks and new public spaces continue to take shape. Neighbors often gather at local spots like The Pub & The People or Lost Generation Brewing Company. These hangouts, along with porch chats and park meetups, add to the friendly, lived-in feel of the community. Eckington offers a chance to be part of something rooted and rising. It feels real, welcoming, and ready for what’s next. For those who want a place with both personality and potential, Eckington is a neighborhood that delivers.
