Bellevue / Congress Heights / Washington Highlands, located between Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling and Oxon Run Park, is a residential and civic Washington neighborhood with broad hilltop views and a patchwork of parkland. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Martin Luther King Jr Ave SE at Malcolm X Ave SE, where barbershops, carryouts, small markets, and Metro foot traffic set a steady street rhythm. Brick rowhouses and garden-style apartments mix with detached homes on leafy blocks that rise and dip toward the Anacostia. St. Elizabeths anchors the skyline with its historic campus and evolving cultural footprint. The ARC at Congress Heights adds a modern civic hub for recreation and events. Trails and playing fields at Oxon Run Park and nearby Fort Stanton Park shape an outdoors-forward routine.
