Just north of the National Mall, the area is bound by New York Avenue, Pennsylvania Avenue, Indiana Avenue and Massachusetts Avenue. It is home to the submarkets of Chinatown, Penn Quarter and Mount Vernon Triangle.

East End has transformed over the last two decades into a hub for retail, hospitality, and public and private sector offices. It is also home to Capital One Arena, the home of the NBA's Washington Wizards and the NHL's reigning Stanley Cup champion Washington Capitals, as well as the region's premier concert venue. The neighborhood is also home to two of the Metro system's three major hubs: the Gallery Place-Chinatown and Metro Center stops, which combined provide access to every Metro line.
