Capitol View, Residential neighborhood in Southeast, Washington DC, United States.
Capitol View is a residential neighborhood in Southeast Washington D.C. that spans between East Capitol Street and Central Avenue SE. The area blends established residential streets with newer mixed-use developments and local services throughout its boundaries.
The neighborhood started in the 1920s as DePriest Village with a mixed population of early residents. Over time it evolved into a middle-class community with deep roots in African American heritage and identity.
The neighborhood serves as a gathering place where residents connect through community organizations and local events that shape daily life. Neighbors often engage in shared activities that strengthen their bonds and sense of belonging.
Benning Road Metro station connects the area directly to downtown Washington, and several bus lines run along East Capitol Street for easy transit. Most locations are walkable and neighborhoods are laid out for convenient neighborhood exploration.
A major redevelopment project in the 2000s brought new housing options for residents at different income levels to the neighborhood. The project carefully balanced bringing in fresh development while ensuring longtime residents could remain and benefit.
