Once known as Swampoodle, a shantytown neglected by the City, NoMa stands for “North of Massachusetts Avenue” and is a rapidly developing neighborhood that is quickly becoming a preferred living choice for young professionals. Home to Union Station and the H Street Corridor, it is located just four blocks north of the U.S. Capitol, congressional and governmental offices. NPR, CNN, and Sirius XM are all located here, as is the historic Gallaudet University and the Government Printing Office.
The opening of the New York Avenue Metro station in 2004 sparked the improvement of this section of the city. In 2007-2008, private developers invested over $1 billion to begin the development of office, residential, hotel, and retail space in its 35-block area over a 10-year period. Tree-lined streets, luxury apartments, restaurants and shops replaced abandoned warehouses, industrial parks and decaying houses. Within NoMa lies the popular H Street NE, a hip, happening street with a number of top bars and restaurants.
NoMa offers convenient, pet-friendly apartment living just steps from the Capitol, Union Station and notable companies. With delicious restaurants, DC’s largest Harris Teeter, and more than 50 free community events each year, NoMa brings friends, co-workers and neighbors together.
NoMa provides unparalleled transportation options including two Red line Metro stations, MARC, VRE, and 13 bus lines. Or, hop on a Capital Bikeshare bike or Metro to be downtown in minutes. A streetcar line is also scheduled to open on H Street, running from Benning Road to Union Station, with plans to eventually continue to Georgetown.
