Skyland rewards residents with hilltop views, everyday convenience, and a growing town-center energy. Anchored by the mixed-use Washington development at Skyland Town Center, the neighborhood brings grocery runs, coffee breaks, and services together around a lively plaza that hosts pop-ups and community gatherings. Tree-lined streets roll toward nearby Hillcrest and Anacostia, giving Skyland a pleasant residential rhythm while keeping you close to city essentials.
Commuting is straightforward. Multiple Metrobus routes crisscross Alabama Avenue and Naylor Road, and the Green Line’s Anacostia Station is a short hop away, putting government hubs and entertainment corridors within quick reach. Weekend plans often start outdoors: Fort Dupont Park’s wooded trails and renowned Summer Concert Series invite picnics, biking, and evening music under the stars, all cared for by the National Park Service at Fort Dupont Park. When you want a change of scene, the restaurants and museums of Capitol Hill are just across the river.
Families appreciate practical school choices, including DCPS’s Stanton Elementary School, plus a mix of public charter options nearby. Housing spans classic brick single-family homes, tidy townhomes, and modern apartments, offering paths for first-time buyers and upsizers alike. With neighborhood energy rising and amenities multiplying, Skyland makes it easy to put down roots—and get more out of every day.
