Zip code 20743 spans Capitol Heights, Seat Pleasant, Coral Hills, and Fairmount Heights along DC’s eastern edge—tree-lined streets, modest single-family homes and townhomes, and a proud legacy rooted in historic African American communities like Fairmount Heights. Expect classic Mid-Atlantic seasons (warm, humid summers; crisp falls; mild winters) and a friendly, front-porch vibe, with neighbors gathering at community centers and weekend youth sports. It’s family- and pet-friendly, with pocket parks and nearby regional green spaces for easy walks and playtime.

Daily life is convenient: the Addison Road–Seat Pleasant and Capitol Heights Metro stations anchor quick commutes downtown, while Ritchie Station Marketplace (Target, restaurants, LA Fitness, Dave & Buster’s, Starbucks) and Addison Plaza (Giant, Planet Fitness) cover errands and coffee runs. You’ll find carryouts, Caribbean and soul food along Central Ave and Marlboro Pike, plus easy access to game-day energy near FedExField and the Prince George’s Sports & Learning Complex. According to recent Zillow market trends, median asking rents in 20743 over the past few months have hovered in the mid-$1,800s, with most listings roughly $1,400–$2,400 depending on size and updates.
