Barry Farm, located between Anacostia and Congress Heights, is a historic and residential Washington neighborhood with a hillside setting and Metro-adjacent streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Anacostia Metro station plaza along Howard Road SE, where bus bays, small storefronts, and steady foot traffic set the daily rhythm. Brick garden-style apartments and rows of modest homes sit on curving streets that drop toward the Anacostia Freeway. The Frederick Douglass National Historic Site anchors nearby cultural gravity with panoramic views. Anacostia Arts Center and Honfleur Gallery add a working-arts pulse close to the neighborhood edge. Fort Stanton Park’s trails and fields frame the landscape with open green space.
