Area Information
Foggy Bottom is located just west of the heart of downtown Washington, DC and is often overlooked as one of D.C.'s oldest and most historical neighborhoods. Crafted in the early nineteenth century, Foggy Bottom first emerged as a community for blue collar workers to live who were employed by the glass, brewery, and city gas industry during the midst of the Industrial Revolution. Hence the name of the neighborhood was coined from the large amounts of fog produced by the local factories in the neighborhood.
Today, Foggy Bottom has transformed into an ideal rental community for the first time renter and history buff intrigued by traditional treasures of Washington, D.C. Foggy Bottom is known for the countless variety of mid-rise apartment buildings in the area all in close proximity to the Lincoln Memorial, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, the Washington Monument, and World War II Memorial along Constitution Avenue.
