Truxton Circle pairs historic rowhouses with a quietly central location, putting everyday essentials and downtown energy within easy reach of Washington. Bordered by Shaw, Bloomingdale, and NoMa, the neighborhood sits at the crossroads of North Capitol and New Jersey avenues—close to Metrorail, major bus lines, bikeshare, and the city’s core. Streetscapes here showcase late-19th-century architecture, pocket parks, and a tight-knit community that still nods to its namesake traffic circle, removed decades ago but remembered in local lore.
Families and students benefit from strong public options, including Paul Laurence Dunbar High School, a historic campus with modern facilities, and the nearby Walker-Jones Education Campus, serving early childhood through middle grades. Active days are easy to plan: swim laps at the indoor Dunbar Aquatic Center, shoot hoops at the Kennedy Recreation Center, let pups roam at Bundy Dog Park, or cruise the Metropolitan Branch Trail. Dining and coffee spots cluster along North Capitol and First Street NW, with weekend farmers’ market fare just a short stroll away.
Whether you’re seeking a classic rowhome to personalize or a move-in-ready retreat near transit, Truxton Circle offers a balanced city lifestyle with real neighborhood warmth. If you’re considering a move, Agent Pronto can connect you with a top local real estate agent—whether you’re buying or selling.
