For some reason putting in the address as 1200 North Capitol St NW gives a more accurate placement than NE:

Below NY Ave is the Sursum Corda neighborhood, unless you are a real estate agent, then it’s NOMA West / Dupont East / Manhattan South / Northern Miami.

I think your map is wrong – the 1200 block of North Capitol is between M and N streets. I don’t think that’s Truxton Circle.
