Fort Totten-Riggs Park blends historic character with everyday convenience, offering tree-lined streets, substantial green space, and enviable connectivity. Trails thread through the Civil War earthworks at Fort Totten Park, while the three-line transfer at Fort Totten Metro Station makes commuting across Washington remarkably simple. Cyclists and joggers love the direct link to the Metropolitan Branch Trail, and community life hums around the evolving Art Place development with new dining, services, and neighborhood programming.
Education anchors the area, with LaSalle-Backus Education Campus and nearby high school options such as Coolidge serving families, and the acclaimed Lamond-Riggs/Lillian J. Huff Neighborhood Library providing light-filled study spaces, maker programs, and author talks. For play and fitness, residents often head a few minutes away to Turkey Thicket Recreation Center for its pool, fields, and classes. Weekend explorations are easy: restaurants and arts venues in Brookland, leafy residential streets in Takoma, and the rowhouse blocks and farmers market scene in Petworth are all close by.
Whether you’re drawn by quiet blocks, transit-friendly living, or the neighborhood’s steady reinvestment, Fort Totten-Riggs Park offers a practical, welcoming choice for a range of households.
