National Landing
Just across the Potomac River from DC, National Landing is one of Northern Virginia's most talked about, innovative, and well-connected downtowns—a neighborhood JBG SMITH Living has helped redefine. This premier urban center effortlessly blends ingenuity and commerce with a focus on dining, shopping, entertainment, innovation, arts, culture, and greenspace. Home of Amazon HQ2’s Metropolitan Park, Water Park, Surreal, three Metro stations, and the future Transit Hub and Pedestrian Bridge to Reagan Airport.
Shaw
Shaw offers a neighborhood transformed with a unique blend of new and local in one of DC’s most sought-after locations, home of Howard University. This vibrant locale is authentic to the entertainment and industrial history of the area, while providing ample opportunity for curated dining, retail, and entertainment experiences, such as the Landmark Theatre, the Howard Theater, and a wide variety of international restaurants. And exploration of other DC locations is easy from the nearby Shaw-Howard University Metro station.
Navy Yard
Navy Yard hits a homerun in the heart of DC Sports. This neighborhood is central to all the games and hotdogs at Nationals Park and Audi Field, and the picnics and recreation at the Capitol Riverfront, The Yards, and The Wharf. Green spaces, renowned dining, unique shopping, easy access to multiple Metro lines, and, of course, unmatched entertainment options amplify the attractiveness of the Ballpark neighborhood.
Union Market
A medley of vintage and modern, Union Market nourishes body and soul with neighborhoods full of boutique shops, chef-driven restaurants and bars, it’s iconic Union Market food hall, and an electric and eclectic creativity. This connected community has become a Northeast cultural and culinary hotspot, close to Gallaudet University. Proximity to H Street and the NoMa-Gallaudet U Metro station helps inspiration, innovation, dedication, and conversation all call Union Market home.
