About
Twining
Twining, located between the Anacostia River and Suitland Parkway, is a residential and riverside Washington neighborhood with hillside streets and broad sky views. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge and the riverwalk, where cyclists, anglers, and commuters share the waterfront edge. Rows of mid-century brick homes and garden-style apartments sit on quiet blocks that slope toward the water. The Anacostia Riverwalk Trail frames daily routines with long, linear views and pocket parks. Nearby, Anacostia Playhouse and Honfleur Gallery add a creative pulse beyond the shoreline.
