Quietly perfect, this DC neighborhood is trending

Family-Friendly Walkable Diverse Metro Park Space Outdoors

Filled with elegant, detached homes that range from sprawling Victorian mansions to elegant colonials, 16th Street Heights has a personality and style all its own. Unlike its vibrant and active neighbor -- Columbia Heights -- 16th Street Heights is more serene. You won't find a jumble of bars, restaurants, and high-rise condos here, but that doesn't mean that 16th Street Heights isn't one of DC's hottest neighborhoods. More and more residents are discovering this hidden gem, giving the neighborhood a rich diversity. One of the reasons 16th Street Heights has gained in popularity is its location -- directly north of Columbia Heights, within walking distance to Metro stations, and next door to Rock Creek Park, a 1,754-acre park popular for hiking, bicycling, picnicking, the Rock Creek Tennis Center, its horse trails, golfing, playgrounds, the Key Bridge Boat House, and the Thompson Boat Center.
