Top neighborhoods in Washington

  • Columbia Heights

    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.

    What it’s like to live in U-street

    Historic renaissance defines U Street, where DC's legendary African American cultural corridor now houses the city's trendiest restaurant scene and nightlife. The walkable district offers genuine urban living with entertainment venues, performing arts spaces, and distinctive retail just steps from most rentals. Though pricing reflects the area's popularity, the combination of historic character, exceptional public transportation, and genuine walkability typically justifies the premium for those prioritizing vibrant urban lifestyle over maximum square footage.
