Neighborhood

If you’re looking to be surrounded by culture and community, Washington Park is a great choice for your next home. Located just south of the Frederick Douglas Square Historic District, Washington Park is one of the city’s most historic and diverse neighborhoods. Civil Rights activist Malcolm X once lived in Washington Park and the neighborhood is home to the Museum of the National Center of Afro American Artists. You’ll find locals bonding at community centers like Shelburne Community Center in Malcolm X Park or enjoying a meal at locally owned restaurants. Washington Park neighbors another cultural hub, Nubian Square, which is filled with international grocers and authentic eateries serving everything from suya to mondongo.
