Capitol Hill Real Estate & Homes for Sale in Washington, D.C. Capitol Hill Real Estate & Homes for Sale in Washington, D.C. Situated just east of the U.S. Capitol grounds is the beautiful neighborhood known as Capitol Hill. With over 8,000 buildings in its grounds, some dating from the 1820s and the Civil War and others from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Capitol Hill is one of the largest historic districts in the country. Real estate options consist of single-family detached homes, historic properties, condominiums and townhouses as well as limited land lots. Once called Jenkins Hill, the setting of this neighborhood and the location of the capitol building were chosen by Pierre L’Enfant, the planner of the new capitol city. Congressmen once used the area’s many boardinghouses as temporary residences, and Thomas Jefferson walked from his boardinghouse on New Jersey Avenue to take his oath as President. In addition to enjoying the range of architectural styles on display in the neighborhood, residents and visitors alike enjoy diverse dining opportunities and eclectic shopping. Additionally, many D.C. points of interest are located here, such as the Folger Shakespeare Library, Union Station and Eastern Market, the oldest working public market in D.C. Offering fare ranging from crab cakes to pottery, this 19th-century red brick building is listed on the National Register of Historic Sites and is a must-see attraction in the neighborhood. Capitol Hill is also home to Lincoln Park, a beautiful oasis surrounded by Victorian homes. From its proximity to significant sights to its bounty of restaurants and shops, residents of this prestigious neighborhood experience only the best of D.C.!
