Manor Park (Washington, D.C.)

Manor Park is a neighborhood in Ward 4 of northwest Washington, D.C.

The National Capital Planning Commission's 1967 "District Communities" map indicates that the neighborhood is roughly bounded between 8th Street NW to the west, North Capitol Street NW, Blair Road NW, and the Red Line train tracks to the east, Rittenhouse Street NW to the north, and Missouri Avenue NW to the south.

[1] Residential and not very suburban, Manor Park is largely characterized by rowhouses, detached and semi-detached houses, and small neighborhood businesses.

In 1923, the Manor Park Citizens Association formed to improve the neighborhood.

[3][4] For many years, Manor Park was not connected by road to Takoma until Fourth and Fifth Streets were extended to connect the two neighborhoods in 1926.
