Fort Lincoln New Town
, residential sect. in NE Wash., D.C., S
of Bladensburg Rd. at the Md. state line; 38°56'N 76°57'W.
Originally planned (late 1960s) as a govt.-financed “new town,” the
site is instead being developed by private interests. It is a mix of
town houses, high-rise apartments, and condominiums on hills
overlooking much of Wash., D.C. Since 1975, some 1,600 housing units
have been completed.
