H Street Corridor
Moving to the H Street Corridor? H Street, NE is one of DC’s earliest and busiest commercial corridors – hosting one of the original streetcar lines in DC. During the early part of the 20th century, the neighborhood boomed as businesses relocated to the area and middle class families found affordably priced homes in a safe and clean environment.
Although H Street, NE has long been in an economic resurgence, the introduction of the DC Main Streets program in 2002, which led to H Street Main Street in 2003, has ushered in a new phase in the life of H Street. Businesses that have survived since the riots of 1968 have been assisted with facelifts and expansion projects, older buildings have been rehabilitated into stylish apartments and condominiums, a new and exciting arts and entertainment district has revitalized historic buildings, and new shops and restaurants have been moving in to take advantage of the unique and exciting atmosphere of this historic neighborhood.
