In principle, you can rent an apartment anywhere in America or elsewhere, but when you rent a luxury apartment, you will want it to be in an area that you enjoy so that it matches the luxury the apartment is providing. The new apartments for rent in Capitol Hill DC are certainly worth taking a look at.

What Capitol Hill is Famous For

It is so-named because, in 1793, Capitol Hill was built on top of Jenkins’ Hill, which is now referred to as Capitol Hill. Following this, many additional buildings have been constructed around this site for them to serve the Supreme Court and Congress.

So, if you are into all things legal, perhaps because it is your occupation, then this is the in-place to rent your apartment while you establish your career.

Capitol Hill’s History

Christ Church is the oldest Episcopal Church in the city. It was thought to have held its first service in 1807. The church has hosted some famous worshippers while president. These are James Madison and James Monroe. Also, composer John Philip Sousa, who is associated with marching bands.

Tiny houses are always trending and you can find one on Capitol Hill that is the city’s smallest. It is just 252-square-foot and was built around 1920. One of its rooms is just 9 by 20 feet long. Your luxury apartment will feel positively Presidential compared to residing in one of those if you like a bit of space.

Architectural Diversity

Capitol Hill is known for its architectural diversity, with so many different styles to enjoy visually. It varies from the elaborate and ornamental pressed-brick structures to the more simplistic unadorned framed buildings and then small apartment houses. You can be surrounded by it all in terms of the aesthetics it brings.

The designer of the Statue of Liberty, Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, also built a monument on Capitol Hill. Bartholdi Fountain is central to Bartholdi Park. It stands at 30 feet tall and towers some 14 feet above the Dupont one designed and created by Henry Bacon and Daniel Chester French of Lincoln Memorial fame.
