A friend recently posted on facebook that her and her husband were looking to move to a new home for their growing family and asked her facebook friends for recommendations on neighborhoods they should consider. She said she was considering 4 neighborhoods. Unfortunately, none were listed EoTR (that's for another blog post - why do people start in Ward 8 and then move).
So I thought about some of my favorite homes in Ward 8. Not sure who lives in these, but I always admire the charm and character of each one as I drive by. Let me know your thoughts.
Let's start with my favorite neighborhood...
Anacostia Historic District
 |
| I think the front and back porches of this house are cool. Plus the nice side yard |
 |
| I always liked the charm of this little home. Notice the cool shutters |
 |
| One of my favorites on W St. We got to get this within the Historic District boundaries |
 |
| Valley Pl. Big House + Big Yard + Cool Owner |
 |
| Truly represents the beauty of Anacostia |
 |
| The Bell Tower is Awesome! |
 |
| Newly renovated house on W St. The side yard is dope! |
 |
| Let the picture speak for itself |
Fairlawn
 |
| This is one of the coolest houses in Ward 8. Huge backyard and a whole lot of charm. |
 |
| Minnesota Ave SE |
 |
| Another on Minnesota |
 |
| Recently renovated with a garage car port in the back |
 |
| I love how this sits on the hill |
 |
| The barn homes on Minnesota Ave |
 |
| No need to be big to be awesome. Hacienda style |
Talbert St
 |
| Hidden on Talbert |
 |
| Talbert St has a couple of neat homes |
 |
| The owner did a great job rebuilding her family home |
Congress Heights
 |
| Off of Brothers Pl and Sterling |
 |
| Guess who's house? |
 |
| Congress Heights could really become a historic district in some areas |
 |
| If someone renovated this home it could be cool. I dig the attic window |
 |
| Neato... |
 |
| A lot of history in this home. Owned by one of Ward 8's Whos Who... |
 |
| Charm on Alabama Ave |
Bellevue
 |
| The Star of my favorite + Its on Xenia St (cool name) |
 |
| Off of South Capitol. I think MPD uses this house as a stakeout |
 |
| Bigger is not always better! |
