About The Sheldon
Urban chic in one of DC's hottest neighborhoods, the Sheldon features lovely one- and two-bedroom apartments with hardwood floors, high ceilings and private balconies. Originally constructed in 1918, the Sheldon apartment building is situated on a quiet one-way, tree-lined stretch of T Street NW. The building is in the heart of the historically rich U Street commercial corridor and within walking distance of Metro's Red and Green line Metro stops. The quiet street that the Sheldon shares with a stretch of row houses is stands in contrast to the vibrancy of U Street. Bustling with activity, the U Street corridor is one of DC's hottest neighborhoods. U Street boasts an eclectic mix of boutiques, bars, cafes and restaurants. Just a few blocks from the Sheldon your nightlife options include reggae, worldbeat, jazz, and indie/alternative rock either performed live or spun by some of the East Coast's top DJs. High-style, pet-friendly, quiet, and located in one of DC's hottest neighborhoods, the Sheldon is a wonderful building to call home.
The Sheldon is an apartment community located in District of Columbia County and the 20009 ZIP Code. This area is served by the District Of Columbia Public Schools attendance zone.

U Street has a reputation as the hip and urban, yet sophisticated neighborhood preferred by everyone from college students to business professionals. It’s one of Washington D.C.’s most historic and diverse communities, encompassed by luxury rentals.
The community has a sweet balance of commercial and residential buildings adjacent to nightlife, art galleries, boutiques, and restaurants. Locals can’t get enough of the DC half-smoke covered in chili dish at Ben’s Chili Bowl.
Music is pretty big here in U Street with jazz clubs and rock n’ roll halls on every corner. The Lincoln Theatre is an excellent place to see a show, whether you’re into jazz, soul, or country!

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.
