Capitol Hill

Welcome to Capitol Hill

Capitol Hill is not just the center of the country’s political life; it is also one of the oldest neighborhoods in DC, boasting its largest residential historic district. While iconic sights like the Capitol, Supreme Court, and Library of Congress inspire awe, the Hill’s other streets are filled with beautiful rowhouses and parks large and small.

What to Expect

Bipartisan neighborliness. Politics matters on the Hill, with neighbors tending to socialize along partisan lines and discuss the issues of the day. But Hill residents are unified in their support for their corner stores and home-grown businesses, with very few national chains in sight.

And whether at the park, over the fence, or across the aisle, the neighbor still talks to a neighbor in this small community.
