Revitalized Stanton Park neighborhood feels like microcosm of D.C.

Bill Crews was looking for a neighborhood that represented all the best parts of Washington when he moved here from Iowa 13 years ago.
He found it in Stanton Park, a 50-block area of Capitol Hill within walking distance of the Capitol, Union Station and the Library of Congress.
“To me, it’s the ideal place to live in the District,” said Crews, 58, a strategic planner for the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Risk Management Agency and an advisory neighborhood commissioner for part of Stanton Park. “Some people who live in this area hardly ever see the city’s monumental core. We get to experience it daily.”
