Locksmith 20020: Anacostia, Hillcrest & Congress Heights

Locksmith work in Anacostia, Hillcrest & Congress Heights

Historic Anacostia, across the 11th Street Bridge, is one of DC's oldest neighbourhoods, with small frame and brick houses below the hill where Frederick Douglass made his home. Climb east and the streets of Hillcrest, Randle Highlands and Penn Branch are detached and semi-detached houses with lawns and views back over the city; Fairlawn and Twining are a mix of rowhouses and apartments.

South in 20032, Congress Heights and Washington Highlands combine apartment complexes, rowhouses and the new development on the St. Elizabeths East campus. Across both ZIP codes the calls are what you would expect in a residential part of town: lockouts, rekeys after a move, broken keys, and replacement car keys.

This page covers Historic Anacostia, Hillcrest, Fairlawn, Randle Highlands, Penn Branch, Fort Dupont, Barry Farm and Twining, plus, in 20032, Congress Heights, Washington Highlands and the St. Elizabeths East campus.

Local notes

Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling and the Blue Plains area have their own security; work on base needs access arranged by someone who lives or works there, so please call first.

Martin Luther King Jr Avenue, Good Hope Road and Pennsylvania Avenue SE are the main routes. Hillcrest and Penn Branch are hilly with curving streets, so include a cross street when you call.
