Southeast, Residential quadrant in Washington, D.C., US

The quadrant includes multiple Civil War-era defensive fortifications constructed between 1861 and 1865 to protect Washington from Confederate attacks.
Eastern Market, established in 1873, operates as a food and arts marketplace where local vendors sell fresh produce, crafts, and regional specialties.
The Blue, Orange, Green, and Silver Lines of the Washington Metro system connect Southeast to the rest of the metropolitan area.
The Anacostia River divides the quadrant into two sections, with the western portion containing the Navy Yard and the eastern part including Fort Dupont Park.
