Penn Branch

Penn Branch

Penn Branch is a neighborhood in Southeast Washington, D.C., east of the Anacostia River. It is bounded by Pennsylvania Avenue SE to the north; Suitland Road to the south; Branch Avenue to the west; and Southern Avenue to the east. The neighborhood takes its name from its location at the intersection of two major thoroughfares, Pennsylvania and Branch Avenue. Also at that intersection is a shopping center by the name of Penn Branch; however, the shopping center is on the northeast side of the intersection (across the street from the neighborhood boundary), technically placing it within the neighborhood of Dupont Park.
