  • Home to XM Radio and this humble resident, Eckington is a rapidly-gentrifying neighborhood trisected by North Capitol Street and Florida and New York Avenues. Boasting many quiet, large tree-lined streets of circa 1900-built bow fronts, rapid real estate speculation has sadly resulted in many of these once-gorgeous homes losing their large oak pocket doors, 9-inch oak baseboards, chestnut flooring and intricate coal-burning fireplace mantels, replaced with flimsy, finger-spliced trim, plastic laminate flooring, and in the kitchens, tons of granite and stainless steel (until the next A.D. fad arises).
