The Capitol Riverfront, Washington DC's newest up-and-coming neighborhood, will delight nature lovers, foodies, and history buffs alike — not to mention it's easy walking distance to the Capitol. The area, once home to naval shipyards, is the only waterfront neighborhood in the city, and is bursting with energy. Enjoy a stroll along the Anacostia Riverwalk Trails, sign up for a kayaking class on the river, take in a Nationals game or venture to the nearby Mall.
