This charming neighborhood boasts well-preserved row houses, cobblestone streets that lead to the Lincoln Park, and close proximity to landmarks like Barracks Row and the historic Congressional Cemetery, not to mention the Capitol itself and the National Mall.

Top 5 Hang-out recs:
1. Lincoln Park and East Capitol Street (0.5 miles)--Lincoln Park is a charming tree-lined park. Walk from there down East Capitol Street, where you can view beautiful historic row homes with a direct sight line to the Capitol.
2. Anacostia River Walk Trail (0.5 miles)--A fantastic hidden treasure, this is a network of trails that run along the Anacostia River. You can follow the paths south to the Navy Yard.
3. Barracks Row (1.4 miles)--The most Capitol Hill aspect of Capitol Hill, buzzing with quaint shops and eateries. Call Your Mother is a local favorite for bagels and schmear.
4. National Mall (1.5 miles)--Walk from the Capitol Building along the full length of the National Mall to take in all the historic landmarks and over a dozen museums. The US Botanical Garden is one of my favorite: less than 2 miles from your Airbnb and just after you pass the Capitol Building.
5. The Navy Yard (1.7 miles)--One of the largest and newest developments in DC, the Navy Yard has cute shops, ice cream parlors, fancy restaurants, and large venues for concerts and performances.
Kingman Park was officially designated a Historic District in June 2018, distinguishing its place in Washington DC's urban development history and recognizable rows of single-family homes characterized by front porches and variations in cornices and rooflines. The neighborhood is ideally located at close proximity of the restaurants and bars of H Street Corridor, and the parks, trails and open air activities in Kingman and Heritage Islands.
