IN BOUNDS FOR MAURY ELEMENTARY, one of the most sought-after schools on the Hill. Neighborhood Description This house is on the East end of Capitol Hill, close to RFK Stadium. We are outside the historic district, which means the homes are bit larger and less expensive, and there are fewer restrictions about what can/cannot be done aesthetically. There have been many other gut-renovations on our block in the 5 years we've lived here, and as a result there is a very diverse mix of newcomers with young children and older families that have lived in their homes for over 50 years. The Hill is truly a community, with many wonderful retail and restaurant options, numerous playgrounds filled with young families, and several lively neighborhood listservs (newhilleast and MOTH to name a few). We absolutely love it here.
