Rhode Island Ave-Brentwood is a Washington Metro station in Washington, DC on the Red Line.
The station is located in Northeast on an elevated platform crossing Rhode Island Avenue, with its entrance near 5th Street. Service began on March 27, 1976 as one of the first stations in the system.
There are many commercial destinations near the station, such as two supermarkets, at least one bank, and a home improvement superstore. The U.S. Postal Service also has a large mail sorting facility which is visible from the station.
From the time the station opened in 1976 until late 2004, the station was known simply as Rhode Island Avenue. At that time, the station was renamed Rhode Island Avenue - Brentwood in recognition of the neighborhood in which the station sits.
