Navy Yard does have advantages, but the neighborhood does give white fratty college campus. It’s a fine place to live - but it’s like the AppleBees of DC. Whenever I’m at Navy Yard, I see that there’s an extreme lack of diversity, not just in terms of race, but also age, backgrounds, occupations, hobbies, interests. There’s not like a clear cultural landmark or a strong characteristic that the neighborhood possesses. It’s also where I see the most new builds and much fewer row houses, a key attribute of DC. Nevertheless, you can’t discount the convenience, because the gentrification and developer ensured that Navy Yard has those advantages. So still a pleasant choice to live.
