MDL Flats - Unclaimed

Southwest Waterfront sits along the Washington Channel and Potomac, with waterfront promenades and views shaping its open, urban feel. Summers are hot and humid, while winters are cool. The Wharf anchors the neighborhood with restaurants, cafés, shops, live music venues and a busy public waterfront; nearby Arena Stage adds a major theater destination. The area’s history is visible in its location beside the channel and its long relationship with the city’s working waterfront. Outdoor options include walks along the water and green space at Waterfront Park, while nearby East Potomac Park offers longer routes and recreation. Metrorail, buses, water taxis and pedestrian routes connect the neighborhood with central Washington and beyond, though the Metro station is a short walk inland. Southwest Waterfront neighborhood listings show a median rent of $2,350 per month and a typical range of $1,025 to $12,000.
