45 Townhome-Style Residences in Eckington, D.C.
City Homes, a newly completed collection of
45 spacious townhome-style residences, is
perfectly situated within Eckington, a historic
enclave in Washington, D.C. Known for its idyllic
Victorian rowhomes and beautiful tree-lined streets,
Eckington is one of Washington D.C.’s oldest and
most iconic neighborhoods – undergoing a
signifi cant transformation.
Developed by Grosvenor, an international property
group with over 340 years of experience, City Homes
offers homebuyers a unique opportunity to own
a piece of this historic neighborhood. Residences
feature thoughtfully designed multi-story layouts,
contemporary fi nishes and private outdoor living
spaces. City Homes is now move-in ready and already
50% sold.
Lifestyle
Located in the new heart of Eckington, Quincy Lane,
City Homes residents have the distinct advantage of
walking out their front door into an array of boutique
dining and entertainment experiences along a
beautifully paved pedestrian friendly woonerf.
With more than 60,000 square feet of retail, including
notable eateries such as Union Kitchen, and active
pursuits at Brooklyn Boulders, there’s always
something new to discover.
Across the street from City Homes is two acres of
recreational space, including a children’s play area,
dog park and green areas at Alethia Tanner Park.
Extend your trip to the park with a stroll or bike ride
on the Metropolitan Branch Trails.
City Homes is also a short walk from the lively Union
Market neighborhood. Deemed the cultural and
culinary epicenter of D.C., Union Market is home to
the city’s two largest food marketplaces, multiple
high-end dining options including Saint Anselm and
Masseria, a range of local eateries, diverse shopping
including known favorites like Trader Joe’s, and an
eclectic mix of boutique retailers and artisans. Also
nearby are Pub and the People, Red Hen, Big Bear
Café, and a long list of options in Bloomingdale.
The entire city is within reach thanks to the
neighborhood’s proximity to D.C.’s Metro system. The
Red Line’s NoMa station is just blocks away from City
Homes, providing easy access to downtown D.C.
