Why you want it: The Capitol Riverfront is easily one of the fastest growing neighborhoods in DC.  New restaurants, retail and apartment buildings are being added constantly and Park Chelsea is among the most exciting new developments happening right now.  With first move-ins in mid-April, renters are clamoring to get in the door.  Between the impressive list of thoughtful amenities and the handsomely appointed apartments, there is simply nothing like it in the city, and Park Chelsea is only the beginning.  With 2 more buildings about to go up, Park Chelsea will be part of The Collective, a brand-new concept in country-club style living for renters.  Get in on the ground floor and enjoy your first year amenity fee free.

Good to know: Park Chelsea is just 2 blocks to the green line train at the Navy Yard Metro Station and 5 blocks to the Orange, Blue and Silver Line trains at the Capitol South Metro Station.  Also exciting: while it is still a little ways off, Agora, the 2nd of the 3 buildings to go up, will have a Whole Foods on the ground floor, making life at The Collective all that and a bag of organic, gluten-free chips.
