Welcome to Trinidad
A diverse, fast-changing community with a unique identity.
Trinidad is in northeastern Washington, D.C. Residents enjoy walking to the nearby retail, grocery, and commercial shops, especially in NoMa and the artsy H Street corridor. The neighborhood’s central location and street parking make it easy to get around the area. The active Trinidad Neighborhood Association helps maintain the community’s quality of life. This includes organizing tours, brunches, local cleanups, and outings.
Because the homes in Trinidad are well-maintained, they sell quickly. Many are restored Victorian-style homes or craftsman-style rowhouses, while other older homes have been converted into condominiums. More

It attracts students and young families from the nearby Gallaudet University and has a large population of residents who have lived here for generations.
