About this House

Here, you can walk out of a sleek apartment, and hop into a kayak. Enjoy rooftop yoga, before diving into a modern infinity edge pool. From nine stories up, watch the line where river touches sky and the first base line in Nats Park. Enjoy a quiet breakfast overlooking the water from your wrap-around terrace, before meeting friends for lunch at a chic eatery, just an elevator ride away. Step out of a stylish lobby, right into a beach volleyball game or onto a lush, green hiking trail.

This is the new way to live urban. This is the Docks. Dock 79 is 100% inspired by a rugged, yet refined, nautical spirit.

Welcome to your DC riverfront.

    "This neighborhood is great for young families. Parks with playgrounds are within a 10 minute walk and there is tons of green space for kids to play. With that said, it’s primarily young professionals and young families so you don’t see many people with children over age 7ish. "

    "Community seems equally apt for young, single adults and families with children and pets. Could use more green space (trees and gres) in parts of community not as near to the waterfront, but that’s a flaw inherent to this newly developed area robust with apt buildings rather than residential homes"
