Stanton Park is where Capitol Hill residents go when they "graduate" from the noise of H Street. It is a sanctuary of wide avenues, deep setbacks, and a neighborhood vibe that feels more like a village than a city grid.
Real estate in Stanton Park commands a premium for a specific architectural reason: Width.
Unlike the dense rowhomes of Shaw or Navy Yard that sit right on the sidewalk, Stanton Park homes often feature 15-20 foot front gardens. This "deep setback" creates privacy and curb appeal that is rare in the District.
The housing stock here is dominated by large, 3-4 story Victorians. These are not starter homes; they are "Forever Homes" with original grand staircases, double parlors, and potential for English Basement rental units.
We call it the "Senators & Strollers" demographic.
You are walking distance to the Senate Office Buildings, making it a haven for senior Hill staff and lobbyists. Yet, the central park (with its playground and dog run) makes it the social hub for young families. It is the perfect blend of power and play.
"Walker's Paradise"
Stanton Park sits in the "Goldilocks Zone" between three major hubs.
The Value Prop: You have immediate access to the best dining (H Street) and transit (Union Station) without having to live *in* the noise.
