Welcome to Shaw

Neighborhood living that’s central to the nightlife, plus a quick commute downtown

Shaw has long-standing residents that have spanned generations but is also attracting newer residents that appreciate the vitality of an urban lifestyle.

What to Expect:

Shaw has everything you need in close proximity, from shops, cafes, bars, and restaurants to a newly rebuilt Giant inhabiting the shell of a restored 19th-century market. But when you need to leave, it’s just one stop south on the Green Line metro to the Convention Center and downtown-- or north to the bustling Columbia Heights corridor.
