Douglass is a residential neighborhood in Southeast Washington, D.C., on the eastern side of St. Elizabeths Hospital, on the border of the Congress Heights Metro Station. It is bounded by Suitland Parkway to the north and east, Alabama Avenue to the south, and the St. Elizabeths campus to the west. Douglass, which sits atop a hilly ridge that is the highest point in Southeast Washington, was once almost entirely occupied by two public housing complexes: Douglass Dwellings and Stanton Dwellings. It is now one of the up-and-coming areas of Washington, DC, with a SuperGiant, several national banks, and an International House of Pancakes. It is also very close to THEARC (Town Hall Education Arts and Recreation Center), with institutions such as Trinity Washington University (formerly Trinity College), the School of the Washington Ballet and the Levine School of Music. The area has several new homes in the $200-400,000 range, and several historic Jewish cemeteries, including the Adas Israel and Elisavetgrad cemeteries.
The neighborhood is named for the famed American abolitionist Frederick Douglass, whose homestead sits approximately one mile north of his namesake community.
