Randle Highlands

Randle Highlands is a neighborhood in Southeast Washington, D.C., east of the Anacostia River.

Born in 1859, Colonel Arthur E. Randle was a late 19th- and early 20th-century real estate developer, who earned some recognition for building Congress Heights and ho later developed Hillcrest and other neighborhoods, east of the Anacostia River.

[1] Moving his family into a large, Greek Revival house - later nicknamed 'The Southeast White House' - in what is, now, the Randle Highlands neighborhood, Randle encouraged more Washingtonians to follow and build grand homes, along Pennsylvania Avenue.

[7] Randle Highlands is located entirely within the borders of the District of Columbia, which means they do not have voting representation in Congress.

[8] In addition to the eight wards, the District of Columbia is divided into Advisory Neighborhood Commissions or ANCs, which are a non-partisan, neighborhood body composed of locally elected commissioners elected to two year terms from their ANC's single member district (SMD).
