Queens Chapel offers leafy streets, sturdy mid-century brick homes, and a calm pace that still keeps you close to city energy. Set between Fort Totten and Brookland in Washington, the neighborhood is a commuter standout thanks to Fort Totten Station, where the Red, Green, and Yellow lines meet. Outdoor time comes easy at Fort Totten Park, where Civil War earthworks and wooded trails add a surprising dash of history and nature to everyday routines.
Locals make regular use of the Riggs-LaSalle Recreation Center for sports, classes, and playgrounds, and the modern Lamond-Riggs/Lillian J. Huff Neighborhood Library for study sessions and community programs. Just south, the collegiate greens of The Catholic University of America and the soaring Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception anchor an arts-and-dining scene in Brookland that’s easy to reach without giving up neighborhood quiet.
Families appreciate access to respected schools such as St. Anselm’s Abbey School, while everyday needs are met by nearby grocers, bus routes along South Dakota and Michigan avenues, and quick bike connections to regional trails. Housing ranges from classic rowhouses to garden-style condos, appealing to first-time buyers and long-time residents alike.
