Greenway / Benning / Dupont Park / River Terrace, located between the Anacostia River and Minnesota Avenue NE, is a residential and park-rich Washington, DC neighborhood with riverfront trails and broad green space. The neighborhood’s energy concentrates around the Benning Road NE corridor near the Benning Road Metro, where corner carryouts, small markets, and bus stops set a steady, everyday rhythm. River Terrace Park frames the area with playing fields and tree-lined paths, while the Anacostia Riverwalk Trail traces the water’s edge. Housing reads as mid-century garden apartments and brick rowhouses with generous setbacks. Kenilworth Park & Aquatic Gardens adds a seasonal, botanical counterpoint to the streetscape.
