Neighborhood

Blackbird is in Capitol Hill at Pennsylvania Avenue and 14th Street, putting shopping, dining, entertainment, and nightlife within easy reach. The Roost is located right at the property, giving you a built-in food hall and gathering spot steps from home. Getting around is straightforward. Potomac Avenue Metro station is nearby, and Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport is just a few nearby. For weekend plans and city staples, spots like the United States Capitol, National Mall, Nationals Park, and MGM National Harbor are on the neighborhood map.

What Sets Blackbird Apart

Capitol Hill gives you a different day-to-day feel than downtown corridors—more neighborhood blocks, quick errands, and easy access to landmarks. Blackbird’s location on Pennsylvania Ave. SE also puts a food hall (The Roost) right in the building, which is a real convenience you won’t find everywhere nearby. For commuters and frequent travelers, being close to Potomac Avenue Metro and a few close to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport can be a practical edge versus communities farther east or north in the city.
