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.

Anacostia
What it’s like to live in Anacostia
Coastal accessibility without coastal pricing defines Ocean Crest, where San Diego's southern community offers more affordable alternatives to beach neighborhoods despite straightforward coastal access. The district features newer construction with contemporary amenities including community pools and recreation facilities, while the nearby commercial centers provide practical conveniences without downtown congestion. Though requiring longer downtown commutes than central neighborhoods, many households find the trade-off worthwhile for significantly more living space, newer construction, and competitive rental rates compared to San Diego's premium coastal communities commanding extreme pricing despite often offering dated construction and limited amenities beyond location advantages.
