Area information: The U Street Corridor

This eclectic neighborhood has something for everyone – history, culture, fine dining, casual dining, nightclubs and shopping. The Metro’s Green and Yellow Lines are within walking distance as are an organic grocery store, pharmacies and a largest indoor shopping mall in DC.

The units are located in the U Street Corridor -- an area rich in American History. G. Byron Peck’s Duke Ellington Mural is on the True Reformer Building and can be seen from both units. Ben’s Chili Bowl, a fixture in D.C. since 1958 is just around the corner on the site of a former silent movie house. The U Street Corridor is a collection of shops, restaurants, nightclubs, galleries, and residences along a nine-block stretch of U Street in northwest Washington, D.C. It extends from 9th Street on the east to 18th Street and Florida Avenue on the west. Most of this area is part of the larger Shaw neighborhood with the western end entering the Dupont Circle neighborhood. It is served by the U Street Metro Station.

The U Street area is largely a Victorian-era neighborhood, developed between 1862 and 1900, the majority of which has been designated as a historic district. The area is made up of row houses constructed rapidly by speculative builders and real estate developers in response to the city’s high demand for housing following the Civil War and the growth of the Federal government in the late 19th century. The corridor became commercially significant when a streetcar line opened in the early 20th century, making it convenient for government employees to commute downtown to work and shop.

While the area remained a cultural center for the African American community through the 1960’s, the neighborhood began to decline following the assignation of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in 1968. The intersection of 14th Street and U Street was the epicenter of violent and destructive riots.

Gentrification began in the 1990's, following development in Adams Morgan and later Logan Circle. More than 2,000 luxury condominiums and apartments were constructed between 1997 and 2007.
