Discover Barney Circle

A quiet, residential pocket on the eastern edge of Capitol Hill, where modest Federal rowhouses meet the Anacostia River — one of DC's best-kept secrets.

Barney Circle is one of Washington DC's most charming and underrated neighborhoods — a small, intimate residential enclave on the eastern edge of Capitol Hill, bordering the Anacostia River. Named for the historic traffic circle at the foot of Pennsylvania Avenue SE, Barney Circle features classic Federal-style and Wardman brick rowhouses, tree-lined streets, and a relaxed neighborhood feel that's rare in central DC. Residents enjoy proximity to the Anacostia Riverwalk Trail, Congressional Cemetery, and quick access to Capitol Hill, Navy Yard, and the Stadium-Armory Metro station. With ongoing development plans for the Barney Circle area and excellent value relative to neighboring Capitol Hill, this pocket has become increasingly popular with first-time buyers, families, and investors seeking historic rowhouses at attractive prices. The neighborhood's quiet streets, strong civic association, and walkability to Eastern Market make it a hidden gem in the DC real estate landscape. BW Metro Properties knows this market intimately and can help you discover the right Barney Circle home.
