Geographic Location

Shaw is an incredibly popular neighborhood in the heart of Northwest Washington, DC. Known primarily for the U-Street Corridor and for its historical significance, Shaw is host to some of the city’s finest restaurants, bars, and nightlife.

Noteworthy Attractions

Howard University, the first Historically Black University, is just north of Shaw and is definitely worth a tour. There are several theaters, both the Lincoln and the Howard, that are each over 50 years old and still hold cultural performances today. Ben’s Chili Bowl is known for staying open during race riots in 1968 and still serves customers to this day! If you’ve been to DC but not Ben’s, you’re missing out! Finally, the Watha T. Daniel/Shaw Community Library is a 2010 build with awards to its name - visit for a plethora of books, media, and gorgeous views!

Transportation Options

This is where it gets even better! Shaw is completely Metro-accessible, through both the Yellow and Green Lines, giving residents access to the entire city! There is a bus service within Shaw, which has several routes that connects the area with the Waterfront and Silver Spring. Most detached and townhomes also have street parking available…if you can find it.

Homes span from $400,000 for a one-bedroom, one-bathroom condo to almost $2M for a six-bedroom townhouse.
