The Neighborhood:
The apartment is in 16th St heights which borders Petworth, a newly trending and becoming popular with families and the younger D.C. crowd as it's residential but has great access to downtown.
There is a true sense of community here, and everyone looks out for each other. Porch culture reigns supreme and families pushing prams, and folks walking their dogs.
You will find lots of great little eateries and coffee shops on 14th st, Georgia Ave and in Petworth.
Fun facts about the neighborhood; Lincoln's Cottage (off of Rock Creek Church Road), where President Lincoln used to vacation when he wanted to get away from the city, is one of this neighborhood’s hidden gems. The nearby Rock Creek Cemetery dates back to 1712; both the Cemetery and the Armed Forces Retirement Home are on the National Register of Historic Places. The Fitzgerald Tennis Center is just a short stroll away.
Rock Creek Park is a stone's throw from the apartment, and is a true city escape. While you have great access to the hustle and bustle of DC's expanding history - you are a short stroll from the soothing connection to nature that is so rare to find in a cityscape. Enjoy hiking trails, horseback riding, wildlife walks, tennis, bicycling and the gorgeous, ranger-led Planetarium located in the park!!
