The neighborhood surrounding Union Market in Northeast Washington is among the fastest growing in D.C., with construction cranes on the skyline and new restaurants and shops opening frequently.

While Union Market, the Latin American market La Cosecha, Masseria, St. Anselm’s, Cotton & Gin and numerous other restaurants are part of the draw of this community, it’s also becoming a destination for residential high-rises, including the Morse apartment building at 550 Morse St. NE.

The NoMa-Gallaudet Metro station is 0.7 miles from Morse, and residents can walk to the REI store, Trader Joe’s and Harris Teeter grocery stores and have easy access to the Metropolitan Branch Trail for a bike ride.
