About Galen Terrace
Galen Terrace, an 83 unit garden style apartment community in Anacostia, was acquired by Somerset Development Company, LLC, National Housing Trust/Enterprises (NHT/E) and the Galen Terrace Tenant Association in 2006, and renovated completely in 2007, including a new community center and computer lab which serves as a focus for the provision of community services. The owners, including the Tenant Association, oversee the Galen Terrace resident services programs through a Resident Services Committee consisting of two residents, two representatives of the development team, and a community member. In addition to NHT/E’s fundraising efforts, a Tenant Services Fund, established as part of the redevelopment of the property, and on-going contribution from property cash flow assures program continuity.
Galen Terrace is an apartment community located in District of Columbia County and the 20020 ZIP Code. This area is served by the District Of Columbia Public Schools attendance zone.
