The trendy neighborhood of Shaw is fast becoming one of Washington, DC’s top neighborhoods. The neighborhood is the birthplace of jazz legend Duke Ellington, and the bars and nightclubs played host to names like Ella Fitzgerald, Cab Calloway, Marvin Gaye, and Pearl Bailey. The iconic Howard Theatre still draws some of the biggest names in music.
Shaw apartments are plentiful and living here provides easy access to some of DC’s top restaurants, such as Table, Habesha, Bistro Bohem, and Azi’s Café. Shaw borders Logan Circle, another of DC’s top neighborhoods, and it is directly south of Howard University. Shaw is a very pedestrian-friendly neighborhood with easy access to two Metro stations. It is home to some of DC’s trendiest boutiques, art galleries, and markets. The increased popularity of Shaw and the high demand for housing has led to an interesting blend of historic rowhouses and sleek, modern apartment towers.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
