Deanwood is an up and coming community located east of the Anacostia River in the Northeast Quadrant of Washington, DC. Much of the housing stock comprises detached, single-family properties but Deanwood is also home to row houses, two-level brick duplexes and wood frame dwellings. Many homes feature large yards by DC standards and green spaces are plentiful from the tree-lined streets to the walking and bike paths in Marvin Gaye Park. Off-street parking is widely available, a boon to commuters. Read more about Deanwood.
Deanwood was once one of DC’s earliest African-American communities and many of the homes available today were built by African-American craftsman. Residents include a mix of families who have lived in the area for generations as well as newcomers looking for affordable properties with convenient commutes to the City.
