Washington DC
Woodridge & Langdon, DC

Woodridge and Langdon, located in Northeast D.C. near the Maryland border, offer a blend of urban living with a suburban feel. The area is known for its spacious, single-family detached homes, which are more affordable compared to central D.C. neighborhoods. The community boasts picturesque green spaces like Chuck Brown Memorial Park, a tribute to the Go-Go music pioneer, and Langdon Park, a popular spot for live music and recreation. The neighborhood has a rich history, from its early days as part of the first authorized toll road in the U.S. to its role in casting the Capitol's Statue of Freedom. Once restricted by racial covenants, Black families began settling in the area in the 1950s, creating a resilient and evolving community. Today the area remains a vibrant, close-knit neighborhood with a strong cultural connection to Go-Go music and a history of creativity, from sculptors to streetwear entrepreneurs.
