Neighborhood

The small neighborhood of Fort Totten creates a peaceful, suburban-like oasis within Northeast Washington, D.C. Despite the neighborhood's suburban feel, you can reach downtown DC and the Maryland communities of Silver Spring and Takoma Park in just minutes from this area.

Primarily residential, the neighborhood prides itself on being tight-knit and family-friendly, with many residents having lived in their homes for several decades. Fort Totten's wealth of green space and canopy of mature trees add to the charm of the neighborhood’s distinctive homes, which range from Victorians, Tudors, and bungalows to semi-attached brick row houses.
