Housing & Dining
Where Will You Live in DC?
You can call Georgetown’s Capitol Campus apartment building home whether you’re a graduate or undergraduate student. Located steps from the campus’s academic buildings, 55 H is both a comfortable residence and a lively community. It’s been a big hit with residents since it first opened in 2022 — but graduate students and undergraduate seniors can also opt to live off-campus. The Gewirz Student Center provides apartment-style housing for up to 290 Law Center students, prioritizing first year J.D. students.
On-Campus Living at 55 H
55 H is one of Georgetown’s newest residential communities — and it’s an exciting place to call home. Designed to center the needs of today’s students, it offers 11 floors of modern spaces to live, work and play.

Off-Campus Living
Some students opt to rent in one of the neighborhoods near the Capitol Campus. Apartments in modern buildings are a popular choice, but you can also share a home with fellow students in one of the District’s historic row houses.
Logan Circle
Logan Circle is one of DC’s trendiest neighborhoods. It combines restaurants and bars, music venues, indie shops and beautiful Victorian architecture in one easily walkable package.
Lincoln Park
Lincoln Park is a more serene option that’s still close to the downtown bustle. It’s full of fascinating DC history, beautiful greenspaces and plenty of spots for eating, shopping and strolling.
NoMa
Formerly an industrial area, NoMA (North of Massachusetts Avenue) is a popular place to live — not just for its proximity to the Capitol Campus, but also for its green spaces, art installations and murals, and a blossoming dining scene that includes the popular food hall Union Market.
H Street Corridor
A walkable, low-rise neighborhood that also has great bus access, H Street was once known for its music scene. Today, you’ll find everything you need right here, from the local hardware store and farmer’s market to diverse cuisines and a growing nightlife.
Campus Dining
Start your day with a build-your-own smoothie from the Commons Cafe, then swing by Common Goods for a fresh on-the-go salad at lunchtime. Or visit the Local for everything from made-from-scratch Mediterranean cuisine and custom poke bowls, to chef-crafted global fusion. For an anytime pick-me-up, order ahead at a local online bakery using your meal plan dollars. You’ll find treats from local favorites and a coffee bar staffed by expert baristas.
When you opt into Capitol Campus Dining Dollars, you can use them on-campus to purchase food tax-free. You can also use your dining dollars off-campus at a growing list of partner eateries and markets, and in the GrubHub app.
