With a countless array of places to go and things to do, the Atlas District is, quite simply, arts and entertainment galore. This busy nightlife district is packed with lively bars, live music venues, coffee shops and restaurants.

While it’s a bustling area today, the Atlas District has certainly seen its ups and downs over the years. Hit hard by rioting in the late 1960s, it’s taken decades to bring the neighborhood back. Efforts began to gain speed in the late 1990s when a local restaurant owner hatched a plan to transform the three-block area with music venues and bars.

More diverse than some other neighborhoods today, the Atlas District sits less than two miles from the National Mall. This makes it easy to explore some of DC’s hippest,

The stylish Constellation on H brings more than two-dozen luxury condos to the area around the H Street corridor. Sitting at 14th and H streets NE, the newer construction project takes up a triangular lot in a gateway intersection to the corridor.

The location makes it easy for residents to visit one of the dozens of area restaurants, bars and entertainment venues in the area. The property also sits within a short walk of the popular H Street Festival and the Atlas Performing Arts Center.

Reflective of its name, it’s said the Constellation took inspiration from the starburst-patterned intersection it sits by. That theme extends throughout the inside of the building, with its lobby level including a mosaic of constellations.

Some sophisticated new condos are now selling in the H Street Corridor.  Seven|H is a new mid-rise property with ground level retail space topped by nearly two-dozen luxury condo units.

All of the condos in the six-story building make room for private outdoor space, while the penthouse units come with a private roof terrace. Buyers can currently choose from a more traditional two-bedroom, two-bath unit, or one of the much more spacious penthouse units with two-bedrooms plus a den, and two-floors of living and entertaining space.

The penthouse units also feature soaring ceilings and, of course, more square footage. While a penthouse may offer more than 1,200 square feet of living space, some of the other condos in the building are certainly

DC’s largest penthouse is back on the market. Former Washington Wizards player Dwight Howard recently listed his 10,000 square foot penthouse in the old Pierce School building for $2.475 million. The penthouse takes up the top two floors of the old schoolhouse, complete with soaring, 30-foot high ceilings and some original brickwork. Reportedly the property also retains some of its original charm, including a design that incorporates some of the building’s old lockers, cubbies and chalkboards.

The bedrooms, office, kitchen and living areas have all be reworked to fill the space of former classrooms in the schoolhouse. The large unit features a two-story living room with a wet bar and brick fireplace.

It also offers a large gourmet kitchen with a

They may not be able to claim the White House as an official address, but some 2020 Democratic presidential candidates already live in DC. From Navy Yard to Capitol Hill and H Street, several political contenders have already set down roots.

Cory Booker may trace his roots to Newark, but the senator also has an apartment in the H Street corridor. This hip neighborhood is well known for its festivals, dining opportunities and nightlife. There’s also a seasonal farmers’ market on H Street, plus you’ll find an eclectic mix of restaurants and shops.

Longtime U.S. Senator and Congressman Bernie Sanders has a home on Capitol Hill. The self-described democratic socialist opted for a cozy one-bedroom, two-bath home that’s not too far from work. He’s

DC’s multifamily condo market is booming as developers aim to lure current renters with a surge of new for-sale options. Until recently developers had favored the rental market, but that trend could be changing.

In particular, some real estate experts say they’ve seen an uptick in condo demand since the Amazon HQ2 announcement. Some estimates predict around 1,700 new condo units will begin sales this year.

This includes nearly a dozen new condo developments with at least 50 units launching sales. That’s the most large-scale projects in a single year to hit the market in about a decade.

Many of the large-scale condo projects are coming to areas that have already experienced a wave of apartment construction, including NoMa and the Capitol

Maintaining a rich history in the DC area, Union Station continues to stand today as a grand example of the region’s past and its bright future. Still a major train station and transportation hub in DC, Union Station is also a destination.

Located near the Capitol Building, the station first opened to the public in the early 1900s, a joint project of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and the Pennsylvania Railroad. Flash forward several decades and the location began servicing at least tens of thousands of passengers a day, even more so during World War II.

As the years passed, though, the public began looking to other forms of transportation. With more and more people traveling by car or by plane, demand dropped for rail service.

In the 1960s

If H Street fits your style but not your budget, you may want to try looking for your next home in Trinidad. While once saddled with a less desirable reputation, Trinidad has since grown into its own.

This modest neighborhood is now known for its tidy yards, with visible signs of new construction and renovation all across the area. While no doubt benefiting from the nearby development seen in NoMa and the H Street corridor, Trinidad is now celebrating some of its own successes.

Originally developed in the 1800s, the neighborhood has seen a true resurgence in popularity in more recent time, and is now regarded as one of DC’s up-and-coming neighborhoods. In turn, many homes in the area are selling fast.

Mostly filled with a mix of

Filled with trendy bars and restaurants, luxury condos and a performing arts center, it’s evident that H Street has arrived. Stretching from Union Station to Hechinger Mall, the one-and-a-half mile long H Street Corridor is now a favorite of many home and condo buyers, as well.

Lured in by its convenient access to everything from grocery stores to nightlife, the highly touted H Street Festival alone brings in thousands of people each year, with live music, art exhibits and food trucks. As well, there’s also the popular H Street Farmers’ Market, open on select Saturdays.

From bagel shops to French fare, coffee shops to ramen, you’ll find it all available along H Street. You’ll also find interesting boutiques and cocktail bars. The recently

A brand new mixed-use project is coming to the H Street Corridor, bringing with it a number of new luxury condos. Branded Seven|H, the development aims to supply nearly two-dozen condos, and likely a mix of retail and office space, to the corner of Seventh and H Streets NE in DC.

Plans call for the six-story building to offer up retail space on its ground level and possibly a mix of retail and office space on the second level, topped off by the luxury condos. Options start with a one-bedroom, one-bath unit, with the largest units featuring two-bedrooms and 2.5-baths.

Common features of the new homes are said to include high ceilings, hardwood floors and quartz countertops. As well, new buyers can also expect to find European-style cabinetry and
