Capitol Hill NE occupies the blocks east of the Capitol grounds and north of Pennsylvania Avenue SE, a neighborhood defined by its intact late-19th-century streetscapes and proximity to the city’s civic core. 8th Street NE runs through a residential section of the Hill, within walking distance of Lincoln Park and the commercial activity along H Street NE.
