It's possible that Fairlawn is now on the cusp of growth, including a renovated shopping center and a long-awaited development at Poplar Point, but those are currently on hold. A few developments are already happening: Anacostia High School is being modernized; the renovated Anacostia Public Library, a gleaming glass-and-steel structure, opened in March; and a new Yes organic-food market on Pennsylvania Avenue opened its doors to much fanfare in August.


Darrin Davis, owner of Anacostia River Realty and a Fairlawn resident, says he thinks the neighborhood is on its way to becoming the District's next "it" neighborhood. "We get calls about it every day," he said, adding that several retail and office spaces are slated to be redeveloped soon. "It's one of the fastest-growing areas east of the river."
