LeDroit Park

LeDroit Park

LeDroit Park borders the Howard University Campus and includes historic parts that feature Victorian and early 20th-century row homes which once housed well-known African American educators, writers, scientists, musicians, and doctors. A recent surge in development has brought more condos and new construction to the neighborhood.

Home values have increased significantly since the recent increase in building and restoration, along with the popularity of the area as a vibrant urban community. Residents enjoy being near shopping, Metrorail, cafes, and culture-rich nightlife. The U Street and Shaw-Howard U Metro stations serve the area, along with a new Whole Foods Market on Vermont Ave.
