Ward 5

Bordered roughly by Eastern Avenue and the Anacostia River on the east, Benning Road and Florida Avenue on the south, New Jersey Avenue and Park Place on the west, and Rock Creek Church Road, North Capitol Street and Riggs Road on the north, Ward 5 is one of the largest in the District of Columbia. Two railroad lines and several of Washington’s major arterial streets such as New York, Rhode Island, South Dakota and Michigan Avenues traverse the area, which is also served by the Red, Green, and Yellow Lines of the Metrorail System. – Courtesy DC Office of Planning
