WHERE WE LIVE | The community, which straddles Northeast and Southeast Washington, is where close-knit residents like to put down roots. However, development is bringing change.

For a fee, neighborhood dog owners can bring their dogs to romp around atat 1801 E St. SE. Proceeds help maintain the site where notable figures, including former D.C. mayor Marion Barry, former FBI director J. Edgar Hoover and composer John Philip Sousa, are buried.

Voyles not only sells houses in Hill East, he lives there, moving to the neighborhood in 2009, because of its affordability and location.“I know all of my neighbors,” Voyles said. “I have a pretty deep relationship with each one of them, more so than just saying, ‘Hi,’ as you walk by. I could go house by house and tell you the name of every single person that lives there.”

Campbell maintains a similar rapport with his neighbors, several of whom trust him with their house keys.Each Halloween, Campbell said, the family likes to go all out for the holiday, wearing costumes and turning the front lawn into a graveyard scene. Before the pandemic, Campbell estimates hundreds of trick-or-treaters arrived at their door.“There are houses that I see, things that I experience that make me say, ‘I’d love to live here,’ ” Voyle said.
