Eckington, one of the city's oldest neighborhoods, is often referred to as "DC's quiet little secret." Filled with colorful Victorian and Greek Revival single-family homes and townhouses with front porches, plus condos both old and new, the area has a diverse suburban feel while giving an urban lifestyle. There is a lot to offer to those of all ages including several markets, children's parks, dog parks, a community pool, baseball and tennis courts and the Metropolitan Branch Trail. This trail connects the area starting in Silver Spring and ending in NOMA. Currently, Eckington is undergoing new developments and regeneration bringing additional retail, restaurants, housing, a gym and more. Situated between NOMA and Bloomingdale, Eckington offers easy accessibility via the Red Line Metro and various bus routes.
