Washington Highlands offers a green, residential pocket on the southern edge of Washington, where rolling streets meet everyday convenience. Commuters appreciate quick access to the Green Line at the Congress Heights Metro Station, while drivers can reach downtown corridors via South Capitol Street and the Suitland Parkway. The neighborhood’s position near Congress Heights, Bellevue, and Anacostia adds options for dining, culture, and services just a few minutes away.
Outdoors, Oxon Run is the star. The upgraded Oxon Run Trail threads through mature trees and meadows, ideal for jogging, biking, or a stroller-friendly walk. Family time is easy at the Bald Eagle Recreation Center, with its playgrounds, fields, and programs. Book lovers gravitate to the light-filled William O. Lockridge/Bellevue Neighborhood Library, while arts and enrichment flourish nearby at THEARC, a hub for performances, classes, and community events.
Education anchors the area. The modernized Ballou High School is known for its arts and athletics, and families also find options like Hart and Hendley elementary schools. Housing ranges from brick townhomes and postwar single-family residences to garden-style apartments, offering choices for first-time buyers and longtime residents alike.
