Surrounded by some of Washington, DC's most beautiful places -- the National Cathedral, Smithsonian National Zoological Park, Glover Archibold Park, Rock Creek Park -- Cleveland Park is in no way overshadowed. In fact, this elegant neighborhood, with its historic Victorians and mature trees, holds its own as one of DC's prettiest locations.
Cleveland Park dates back to 1793, when an aide to George Washington built an estate named Rosedale. Soon, other residents followed suit. It was considered an upscale suburb at the time, and (aside from its name) not much has changed. While row houses and apartment buildings have lured new residents to the neighborhood, Cleveland Park is still home to many wealthy Washingtonians.
As you look at Cleveland Park apartments, be aware that the neighborhood features two commercial districts: Wisconsin Avenue and Connecticut Avenue. These streets are filled with restaurants, bars, shops, and entertainment venues like the Uptown Theater.
