The neighborhood
Anacostia Metro (Green Line) is a 5-minute walk — one stop to Navy Yard, two stops to the Wharf, and three stops to the National Mall. The Anacostia Riverwalk Trail runs along the river nearby for biking, walking, and kayak access. The brand new Atlas Brew Works' Bridge District taproom is a short walk. Nationals Park, Audi Field, and the Navy Yard restaurant scene are one Metro stop or a 15-minute walk over the bridge.
Quick I-295 access puts Alexandria and Arlington roughly 15–25 minutes out depending on traffic.
Nearby
Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB) and Coast Guard Headquarters are minutes away. Fort McNair and Marine Barracks about 10 minutes- the Pentagon and Joint Base Andrews about 15–20. Children's National Anacostia, Cedar Hill Medical Center, and Bridgepoint Hospital are all close by.
