Just ten minutes from downtown Washington, nestled between Brentwood, Truxton Circle, and Bloomingdale Eckington is referred to by locals as DC’s “quiet little secret.” The neighborhood was developed in the early 20th century soon after a streetcar was extended into the area. A strong sense of community is apparent with several parks and playgrounds jam-packed with families. This neighborhood is becoming increasingly popular with young families and professionals.

McKinley Technology High School serves as a central point, sitting atop a hill and overlooking the clusters of townhouses that line the surrounding streets.

Walking the streets along Eckington’s eastern half, passersby can hear the trains roaring by the old warehouses and manufacturing plants.
