For outdoor enjoyment, one of the unit’s two private entrances opens onto a private outdoor area with seating for two. Directly behind the home is Crispus Attucks Park, a community-owned and managed park known as “Bloomingdale’s Secret Garden” because it is hidden back from the streets. The Park offers year-round activities such as outdoor film nights, yoga classes, community days and dog costume contests. The apartment is a short walk from Bloomingdale's best restaurants and bars- DC's famous Red Hen Restaurant, Big Bear Cafe and Boundary Stone. There is a farmer’s market every Sunday, and a wonderful yoga studio, Yoga District, a few blocks away.
