Welcome to H Street Corridor

From boom to bust to glorious renaissance.

The H Street Corridor was built in 1849, providing a home for the workforce that was building much of the city infrastructure we know today, including Union Station. It soon became a thriving commercial district when streetcars were introduced in the 1870s. Thanks to a resurgence of investment in the early 2000s, the neighborhood’s evolution continues today as developers push new retail and condominiums further eastward.
 
An eclectic community nestled near Capitol Hill & Union Market, known for it's locally-owned spots, it's little surprise that the H Street Corridor has been recognized by national publications as a neighborhood in revival.
 

What to Expect

A bustling enclave just blocks from the U.S. Capitol.

The “Hopscotch Bridge” over the tracks of Union Station takes you away from the formality of Capitol Hill to a 1.5-mile stretch of colorfully diverse street life, where carefully restored row houses mingle with new luxury apartment buildings.
 

The Lifestyle

An eclectic haven of nightlife and theater.

The heart of H Street Corridor is brimming with restaurants, coffee shops, bars, and cultural attractions such as the newly revived Atlas Center for Performing Arts, which was originally built in 1939 as a 1,000-seat movie theater. Named a Great American Main Street by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the corridor’s independently owned shops and galleries are quickly being joined by large mixed-use development and refreshing retail.
 

Unexpected Appeal

The return of the streetcar.

Streetcar service returned to H Street in 2016, starting at Union Station and running the length of the corridor before turning down onto Benning Road toward the riverfront. It’s a true full circle from its earlier life, when streetcars heralded H Street’s original boom.
 

H Street Corridor Real Estate Market
