Alexander Gardens - Unclaimed

Fairlawn sits in Southeast Washington near the Anacostia River, with a largely residential feel and access to the river’s parks and trails. The Anacostia Riverwalk Trail offers a route for walking and cycling, while nearby Kenilworth Park and Aquatic Gardens features wetlands, boardwalks and seasonal water lilies. The neighborhood’s location also makes it convenient to reach historic Anacostia and the wider riverfront. Local dining and coffee options are modest, with more choices in nearby commercial districts; everyday errands are served by neighborhood shops and larger retail areas farther afield. Metrobus routes and nearby Metrorail stations connect Fairlawn with other parts of the city, though many trips are easier by car or bike. Fairlawn neighborhood rental listings have a median rent of $1,945 per month and a typical range of $1,100 to $6,500.
