    What's special

    Laundry room in basement
    Lincoln Towers is a family run business. We have been renting apartments in the Capitol Hill neighborhood for over forty years . We own and manage our own buildings, all of which are located in the heart of Capitol Hill. Please feel free to email us with any questions about the upcoming vacancies listed below. Please note that only a handful of our apartments allow dogs, but most units do allow up to two cats. All of our buildings are non-smoking, and, with a few exceptions, most apartments are unfurnished (we do have some furnished units that come available, and we can do short term leases on these). We work hard to offer homes that are comfortable, well taken care of, and reflect the uniqueness of the Capitol Hill neighborhood. 121 12th Street SE is located just 1/2 block south of Lincoln Park and a 10 minute walk from Eastern Market. Easy access to Barracks Row and H Street... Bikeshare station just one block away, and multiple bus routes at Lincoln Park. This building has a roof deck with truly unbeatable view of the Capitol and city at large. Laundry room in basement managed with a phone app that allows tenants to check on machine availability. Resident manager on site. Elevator. Zipcar on the premises, and bike storage room access is available. Lincoln Towers is committed to environmental sustainability... this building is equipped with a 24Kw solar array. Family owned and managed. Most apartments in the building allow cats only, but the basement apartments allow dogs (no other pets, sorry). No smoking at this location. Limited off street parking is sometimes available as are a small number of furnished apartments. The building is entirely family owned and managed. We take pride in our apartments and work hard to build a stronger Capitol Hill community.
    District law requires that a housing provider state that the housing provider will not refuse to rent a rental unit to a person because the person will provide the rental payment, in whole or in part, through a voucher for rental housing assistance provided by the District or federal government.

    Zip code 20003 blends the historic charm of Capitol Hill’s brick rowhouses and tree-lined blocks with the waterfront energy of Navy Yard/Capitol Riverfront. Expect four seasons—humid summers, crisp springs and falls, and mild winters—plus easy access to the Anacostia Riverwalk Trail, Nationals Park, The Yards Park, and beloved Eastern Market’s daily food hall and weekend flea. The vibe mixes Hill staffers, young professionals, and families, with a strong community feel, stroller-friendly sidewalks, and plenty of patios for pets. Daily life is walkable: groceries at Whole Foods, Harris Teeter, and Trader Joe’s; coffee at Peregrine Espresso, Compass Coffee, and Blue Bottle; dining highlights like Rose’s Luxury, Ambar, Albi, Bluejacket, and The Salt Line. Fitness and outdoor time are easy at VIDA Fitness, Canal Park, Garfield Park, and dog-friendly spots like Virginia Ave Dog Park and the Congressional Cemetery K9 Corps. Metro stations (Eastern Market, Capitol South, Navy Yard–Ballpark) and bikeshare make commuting simple. According to Zillow’s recent market trends, median asking rent is in the low $3,000s, with most listings over the past few months ranging from the upper $2,000s to mid-$4,000s depending on size and amenities.
