Extraordinary Neighborhood: What EVERYONE wants! Shaw

The elm, maple, crape myrtle, and ginko trees line this quaint community rich in history and architectural charm. The proximity to the downtown business district, Catholic University, Washington Hospital Center, historical landmarks, Metro & bus access, 395 and other commercial venues have made Shaw an ideal location within the District. Today the streets are abuzz with neighbors heading to one of the newly opened restaurants or the Sunday farmers market. Visitors are greeted warmly by residents sitting on their front porch enjoying what Shaw has to offer--a sense of community. With a new mixed use development coming soon to the City Market @ O, Shaw will continue to be one of the best spots in the city for decades to come.
