Locksmith 20017: Brookland, Michigan Park & Woodridge

Locksmith work in Brookland, Michigan Park & Woodridge

Brookland grew up around the Catholic University and the Basilica, and it still has the feel of a small town: detached frame houses with porches, bungalows and brick colonials on hilly streets, plus a newer cluster of apartments and shops around Monroe Street and the Brookland Metro. Michigan Park and University Heights to the north are quieter rows of detached and semi-detached houses.

Across the railway in 20018, Woodridge and Langdon have similar housing, Brentwood mixes houses with warehouses and shopping centres, and Fort Lincoln is newer townhomes and apartments near the Maryland line. Garages, sheds and back gates are common, so jobs often go beyond the front door.

This page covers Brookland, Michigan Park, University Heights, Edgewood and the Catholic University area (20064), plus, in 20018, Woodridge, Langdon, Brentwood, Fort Lincoln and the Rhode Island Avenue corridor.

Local notes

Catholic University manages its own buildings and keys; we work for private homes, rentals and businesses around it.

Brookland's hills and the rail line split the neighbourhood, so say whether you are east or west of the Metro. In 20018, Rhode Island Avenue and South Dakota Avenue are the usual ways in.
