Frequently asked questions

What other neighbourhoods are similar to Southwest?
The Southwest Waterfront is a distinct area, and while no other neighbourhood is exactly like it, you might find similarities in areas like Navy Yard or Capitol Hill (specifically the area around the Capitol).

Navy Yard, located just southeast of the Southwest Waterfront across the Anacostia River, shares a similar story of redevelopment from an industrial past. It's a modern, polished neighbourhood with new residential buildings, a wide selection of restaurants, and a bustling waterfront park. The area around Nationals Park is particularly lively on game days.

For those who appreciate the convenience of being near government buildings and historic architecture, Capitol Hill offers a comparable experience to parts of Southwest. While it lacks the direct waterfront access, the area immediately surrounding the U.S. Capitol Building and the Library of Congress has a monumental feel. It's also home to Eastern Market, a historic public market with food stalls and artisan crafts.
