Discover Southwest Waterfront

A reimagined waterfront district stretching along the Washington Channel, blending historic charm, modern condos, and the energy of The Wharf.

The Southwest Waterfront — often referred to simply as SW Waterfront — is one of Washington DC's most distinctive neighborhoods, defined by its scenic position along the Washington Channel and proximity to the National Mall. The neighborhood has been completely revitalized over the past decade with the opening of The Wharf, bringing new restaurants, music venues, hotels, and luxury residential buildings to the waterfront. Residents enjoy a unique mix of mid-century cooperative buildings, modern condos, and townhomes, all within walking distance of the Waterfront Metro station, the Tidal Basin, and the Smithsonian museums. The neighborhood's marina, Maine Avenue Fish Market (the oldest open-air fish market in the country), and the District Wharf concert venues create a lifestyle that's hard to match anywhere else in DC. Whether you're seeking a one-bedroom condo with water views, a renovated mid-century cooperative, or a luxury new-construction residence, BW Metro Properties can help you find the right home in SW Waterfront.
