Part of Washington DC's smallest quadrant, the Southwest Waterfront area has been transformed into an urban center consisting of new retail shops, restaurants and condominiums. Being on the river creates the feeling of being away from the city--without having to sacrifice any of the benefits of being in the city.
- Southwest Waterfront is located walking distance from National Mall and Smithsonian Museums. If you enjoy theater, check out nearby Arena Stage theater, the country's largest theater specializing in American plays and playwrights.
- If you are a seafood eater, you will love the Maine Avenue Fish Market--also known as The Wharf.
- Nationals ballpark is minutes away if you want to catch a baseball game.
- There is no shortage of swanky establishments, such as the CityZen restaurant at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel. You can also grab a bite at a number of riverfront bars and restaurants.
- During the warmer seasons, locals can enjoy boating activities at SW Waterfront's marina.
- Neighboring areas include Capitol Hill and Penn Quarter.
