Nestled in Northwest Washington, D.C., Shepherd Park is a historic neighborhood known for its tree-lined streets, spacious homes, and unwavering commitment to community. Named after Alexander Robey Shepherd, an early modernizer of Washington, the neighborhood was designed in the 1920s with large lots and preserved green space. While it initially mirrored the city’s racial barriers, Shepherd Park became a national model of integration and activism in the mid-20th century, led by residents committed to equity and unity. Today, it remains one of D.C.’s most stable and diverse enclaves, with a strong civic spirit, a peaceful suburban feel, and a proud legacy of progress, inclusion, and neighborhood resilience.
