Ward 4’s diverse neighborhoods are filled with new mixed-use developments, open storefronts in developing pedestrian streetscapes, and historic areas of single family homes.

The District’s ongoing commitment to this Ward makes now an ideal time to invest in this area. Georgia Avenue’s streetscape will be transformed as a part of the Great Streets Initiative. The Hattie Holmes Senior Wellness Center on Kennedy Street and the Petworth and Emery Recreation Centers expand resources available to residents of all ages. The recently opened Brightwood Heritage Trail will bring visitors to walk around neighborhoods rich with Civil War history.
