Naylor Gardens blends leafy residential streets with everyday convenience and strong community roots, anchored by the historic cooperative apartments that gave the neighborhood its name. Daily errands and dining are easy at the evolving Skyland Town Center, while weekends invite fresh-air escapes on the trails and concert lawns of Fort Dupont Park or history-rich visits to the Frederick Douglass National Historic Site in nearby Anacostia.
Families appreciate local school options, including Stanton Elementary School, Sousa Middle School, and Anacostia High School. After class, youth sports and fitness programs at the Hillcrest Recreation Center help keep everyone active and connected, and the quiet, single-family blocks of neighboring Hillcrest add to the area’s relaxed, residential feel.
Commuters find straightforward connections via frequent Metrobus routes along Naylor Road and Good Hope Road, with the Green Line just a few minutes away at Anacostia Metro Station. Tree canopy, pocket parks, and wide sidewalks make everyday strolls pleasant, and cultural landmarks across the river are close enough for spontaneous outings yet far enough to preserve a calmer pace at home.
