Top neighborhoods in Washington
Columbia Heights
What it’s like to live in Columbia Heights
Cultural diversity thrives in Columbia Heights, where this central DC neighborhood showcases urban energy through authentic restaurants, markets, and community institutions. Rental options include both historic rowhouses and newer developments with varied price points throughout this walkable district. While the area offers exceptional access to both the Green/Yellow Metro lines and the developing 14th Street corridor, weekend crowds at Target and other popular retailers create temporary congestion affecting some streets. Perfect for urban enthusiasts who value genuine diversity beyond marketing-created "international" atmospheres in newer developments with more predictable community patterns.

Capitol Hill
What it’s like to live in Capitol Hill
Historic prestige defines Capitol Hill, where this distinguished DC neighborhood surrounds the U.S. Capitol with beautifully preserved architecture from various eras. Rental options include apartments in converted historic rowhouses and carriage houses with character details unavailable in newer construction. While the area offers exceptional access to both the Capitol complex and Eastern Market's weekend farmers market, rental rates rank among DC's highest with limited inventory creating extremely competitive application processes. Most suitable for congressional staffers, government professionals, and history enthusiasts who can justify premium rates for prestigious addresses and architectural significance despite urban parking challenges and premium pricing.

Brookland
What it’s like to live in Brookland
Elevated views define Anaheim Hills, where Orange County's eastern community offers spectacular panoramas from its hillside position above the LA basin. The district features larger properties with generous outdoor spaces capitalizing on Southern California's perfect climate, while nearby shopping centers provide upscale amenities without requiring trips to more congested areas. Though requiring vehicle ownership, many households find the quieter atmosphere, significantly more living space, and natural surroundings worth this minor inconvenience compared to more centrally-located Orange County options lacking similar elevation advantages creating both cooler temperatures and reduced noise pollution increasingly valued in densely developed Southern California.
