I have friends and family who have lived in the neighborhood for the last three decades (a few ex’s, ok, several, including my friends and family currently live in the area).
Capitol Hill is a vibrant and historic neighborhood with a lot to offer in terms of culture, amenities, and lifestyle. While it does experience some urban crime, the overall sense of community and active efforts by local associations and police contribute to its safety. As with any urban area, staying aware of your surroundings and taking common-sense precautions will help ensure a safe and enjoyable experience in Capitol Hill.
