Apartment listings on the fringe claim to be in Capitol Hill. This one really is! It is right in the core of the historic district, on a quiet residential street, but 5 minutes walk to whatever you want - post office, library, starbucks, outdoor cafes, parks, etc.
The Eastern Market area of Capitol Hill was just voted one the nations top 10 neighborhoods. It is close to everything but maintains the charm of a quiet historic neghborhood. On the 3 block walk home from the metro, you will pass neighbors working on their flower gardens or walking their dogs. Capitol Hill offices, Barracks row, Results Gym, shops, restaurants, the post office, banks, etc. are all just steps away. On weekends you can stroll around the farmers market and antique and arts fair that takes place every weekend around the Eastern Market building although the building itself is currently undergoing restoration. http://www.planning.org/greatplaces/neighborhoods/easternmarket.htm Apartment 2 is on the Southeast corner of a small building in the Capitol Hill Historic District. It has 8 windows, 4 to the east and 4 to the South (morning and winter sunlight). It is one level above the street and faces a yard full of trees on the Southern side. There are three large closets, 1 bath, 2 bedrooms, a living room, a dining room and small kitchen with a dishwaher. The floors have thick cushy carpeting, and the apartment has been recently painted.

Two zip cars are within 3 blocks( http://www.zipcar.com). Even the police station is just 2 blocks away (guest parking passes). Although it is on a quiet tree-lined street, the on and off ramps to 395 are within a few blocks, so you can get anywhere fast.
