Fairlawn Citizens Association

The Fairlawn Citizens Association is a non profit group of residents who live in the Fairlawn community of Washington, DC. Bordered to the west by historic Anacostia, and to the north by the Anacostia River, Fairlawn, is one of the older communities east of the Anacostia River, developed in the 1920's as the rural part of the city began to be developed.

Over 90% of the homes in the area are single family housing units. Some of the landmarks in Fairlawn are Anacostia Senior High School, the Anacostia Public Library and the historic Smokestack of the old Carroll Laundry.
